Swiss goalkeeper of Augsburg, Marwin Hitz, used a "quite dirty" resource to make it difficult for the opponent's penalty kick in his team's victory 1-0 against Cologne in the Bundesliga.

Hitz, discreetly, started to destroy the grass at the penalty spot while he and his teammates were arguing with the referee about the foul.

Anthony Modeste took the penalty kick. And not only did he miss it, but he also slipped and fell. Was it because of Hitz's resource? We believe it had a lot to do with it.

Hitz saved the penalty and secured the win for Augsburg. With this victory, his team climbed out of the relegation zone.

After the match, the goalkeeper apologized for his action on Twitter. "It wasn't right," he wrote on his official account.

I would like to apologize for my action before the penalty kick. That was not okay and will not happen again!
