When taking a corner, the golden rule is: beat the first man. Oh,
and don’t kick the flag, fall over and flail around before handling
the ball.
Armenia midfielder Aras Ozbiliz seemed to be in a rush to take a
set-piece in the World Cup qualifier against Denmark on Tuesday night
and that proved to be his downfall.
The Spartak Moscow star put the ball down, which considering what
happened next, was a remarkably competent start.
It soon unravelled, though, as he connected with the corner flag before
kicking the ball a matter of yards, falling over and grabbing the ball,
Ivan Campo-style.
And, to put the tin lid on it, he was quite correctly penalised
for handball.
Armenia lost the game 1-0 thanks to a Daniel Agger penalty in the
73rd minute. Just three months ago the Armenians beat the Danes
4-0, a result which delighted American-Armenian reality TV star Kim
Kardashian, who tweeted: ‘Let’s go Armenia’ after that victory.
