Mario Balotelli and M\u2019Baye Niang settled who would take a penalty by playing rock, paper, scissors.<\/p>\n

Balotelli is currently enjoying his second spell with Turkish outfit Adana Demirspor after a wild and chaotic season at Sion. His side beat Konyaspor 3-0 on Saturday at the New Adana Stadium, with the maverick striker coming off the bench to score the third in the 81st minute.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester City bad-boy wanted another goal after Demirspor were awarded a penalty in the third minute of stoppage time. But he missed out on taking the spot-kick in hilarious fashion.<\/p>\n

Team-mate Niang, who knows Balotelli well from their time together at AC Milan, also wanted to complete a brace, having netted the opener 54 minutes in. It is not unusual to see players arguing in such scenarios as they look to decide on a taker.<\/p>\n

But on this occasion, Balotelli in vintage fashion found a creative way to settle the dispute – opting for a game of rock, paper, scissors. Unfortunately for the Italian, it was Niang who came out on top, before the Italian jokingly swiped his fellow forward\u2019s face as he walked away from the area.<\/p>\n

The ex-Senegal international made sure it was not in vain, however, tucking away his penalty past Paul Bernardoni. That allowed Demirspor, managed by Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert, to move up to third place in the Turkish Super Lig.<\/p>\n

Premier League fans may be familiar with 28-year-old Niang following his brief loan spell with Watford back in the 2017. Niang managed two goals in 16 appearances before returning to Milan, where he remained until 2018.<\/p>\n

The forward has since become somewhat of a journeyman, with stints at Torino, Rennes, Saudi club Al-Ahli, Bordeaux, Auxerre and Demirspor since the summer.<\/p>\n
