We call it an act because the term "simulation" would be an understatement. During the Conference League match between KuPS and Slovan Bratislava, defender Ibrahim Cissé pretended to be struck… by the referee!

The referee, Greek official Vergetis, stepped in to separate the Ivorian and an opponent who were arguing after a foul committed against a home player. At that very moment, Cissé let himself fall to the ground, clutching his face as if he had just received a violent slap from the referee.

The little scene, of course, did not go unnoticed: Vergetis, remaining unfazed, decided to pull out the yellow card and book Cissé for simulation. An episode destined to enter football’s annals for its comedy and absurdity.
