A football player has deliberately missed a penalty after a refereeing error.
During a match between Parma and Hic Sunt Leones, the referee pointed to the spot for handball; however, the goalkeeper had handled the ball, not a defender.
Parma player Claudia Morelli, who was up for taking the penalty while the score was still 0-0, decided to miss deliberately. She passed the ball towards the keeper instead.
