Greek club Volos FC have released one of their players after he conceded a 90th penalty against AEK Athens – and they have refused to wish him well.
Volos were set for a huge point against the Greek giants at home, when Dominik Kruzliak brought down one of the AEK players in the penalty area – leaving the referee with no choice but to point to the spot.
Nordin Amrabat, whose brother Sofyan is currently on loan at Manchester United, hammered the penalty down the middle of the goal to take the three points back to Athens in the Greek Super League clash.
And Volos have responded to the incident by releasing Kruzliak.

In a statement, Volos said: "PAE Volos announces the mutual consent termination of its contract with Dominik Kruzliak. We don't wish him well in the future, but we will certainly remember him. "
Kruzliak had only joined the club in July, with the club expressing their gratitude at the Slovakian joining the Greek minnows' "family".

According to Greek media, Volos' controversial owner Achilleas Beos is behind the decision.
In 2015, he was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of trying to bribe a referee in 2011, but Beos was allowed to pay off the sentence for €7,280 (£6,254).
Beos maintained his innocence after the verdict – claiming the audio files which the case was built around had been tampered with.
