In the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 championship soccer match in Brazil Sunday, América São Paulo midfielder Pilo was able to draw a penalty kick with one of the most blatant dives in the penalty box that you will ever see.
However, karma came back to bite Pilo as his penalty kick may have been one of the worst ever, as not only did it only travel about 10 feet, but it went directly to the right off his foot. Sure enough, they lost 2-0 to Votuporanguense in the end.
Brazilian soccer players seem to find themselves the victims of karma when they use these blatant cheating tactics. A fake injury used as a stalling tactic by the Brazil women's team came back to bite them against the US back in 2011. Apparently, some players just have to learn the hard way.
H/T Dirty Tackle.
