Andreas Johansson Commits Dive So Bad That Opponent Bursts Out Laughing

AIK striker Mohamed Bangura couldn't help but burst out laughing after Norrkoping defender Andreas Johansson threw himself to the floor with an embarrassing dive during Sunday's Swedish league clash.

The incident occurred when Bangura raised an arm to signal to a teammate at a throw-in and Johansson decided to take the opportunity to collapse to the floor in an attempt to simulate some sort of nonexistent assault.

As is the natural response after witnessing such a pathetic attempt at cheating, Bangura couldn't help but burst out laughing at his fallen opponent, who quickly got back to his feet after realising he wasn't getting anywhere with his performance.

Update, August 6:

Johansson has taken the high road and apologised for the dive. Per the Guardian:

"

In a statement on his club’s website, Johansson said: “What I did was wrong and has no place in football. I had a quick brainwave of which I am very ashamed … When I see things like this on TV it makes me angry and it makes me extremely disappointed that I did it.

"From now on, my focus will be on the future, on the preparations for our next match … My commitment and my desire to win will not be affected.

I will continue to work even harder to be the role model I want to be, on and off the field."

"

Many others would have tried their best to block it out from their memories forever, so credit to him for not just keeping quiet until the world moved on.
