Emilio Izaguirre almost got away with a Clint Hill during the 1-1 draw between Honduras and Costa Rica.
With former Arsenal striker Joel Campbell perfectly shielding a high ball as it fell towards him there was no legitimate way for the defender to play the ball.
Recalling Bobby Madden’s relaxed interpretation of the laws during Celtic’s 1-1 draw with Sevco, Izaguirre decided to play through the man.
Campbell certainly got a shock when the ball was hooked clear.

The match finished a 1-1 draw with Izaguirre’s Celtic team-mate Cristian Gamboa probably had some explaining to do in the dressing room after the match.
With a useful point taken away from home Costa Rica are in second place behind Mexico and looking good for one of the three World Cup places up for grabs.
Honduras have their work cut out to make it to the finals for the third year running as they sit in fifth place with four points from four matches with away games against Mexico and Panama coming up in June.
The fourth placed team goes into a play-off against a nation from another confederation.
