Fenerbach’s goalkeeper writhed in pain.

Recently selected for the national team, Gustaf Nilsson understood nothing.

“Cheating in football when it’s at its worst”, writes expert Jonas Eriksson.

The Turkish goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat reached higher than Nilsson on a cross and picked the ball down.

First, he took off to set in motion a change.

Then he lay down, rolled around and got into his stomach.

“I find it extremely distressing to see how incredibly aggressive Gustaf Nilsson plays these days”, jokes Jonas Eriksson in one Instagram-story and tags the Union Saint-Gilloise Swede.

“Impressed”

The clip from Thursday’s Conference League continues. The goalkeeper starts pointing to his elbow instead.

But any tackle against any of the body parts is difficult to detect.

“Nah – I’m rather deeply impressed that Gustaf keeps as calm as he does”

“Should be watching”

The former elite judge continues:

“Cheating in football when it’s at its worst. Something like this, if anything, VAR should be looking at”.

The clock was ticking for Gustaf Nilsson’s Belgian club, who went out of the round of 16 after 1-3 overall.

The 26-year-old striker has scored twelve goals during the season and was selected in Jon Dahl Tomasson’s first national team squad.
