Title: How to draw a foul...smack yourself in the face.

Chile U20 star tries to get opponent sent off by smacking himself in face

In probably the greatest - or should that be worst - attempt to get an opponent sent off ever, Chile U20 star Bryan Carrasco has been caught smacking himself in the face with another player's hand in a bid to win a free-kick.

During the South American Under-20s World Cup qualifier between Chile and Ecuador earlier this month, Carrasco decided he would try to fool the officials and get Edson Montano sent off for raising his arms.

With his side losing 1-0 and only 14 minutes of the game remaining, Carrasco used an Ecuador throw-in to position himself behind Montano and hatch his dastardly plan.

As TV replays show, as soon as the throw-in is taken, Carrasco deliberately grabs Montano’s left hand and punches himself straight in the face.

Amazingly, the ridiculous ploy worked.

After throwing himself to the ground, the referee awarded Chile a free-kick and Carrasco quickly jumped to his feet and ran off.

Unfortunately for the 20-year-old (although fortunately for the good game of football), the referee decided to keep his cards in his pockets and decided against booking Montano.

Even worse, TV cameras picked up every second of his brazen act, leaving the match commentators suitably appalled and amused in equal measure.

Slowed down replays show the incident in all its glory, pinpointing the exact moment Carrasco grabs his opponent’s hand and hits himself in the face.

Ultimately, though, his efforts were in vain. The score-line remained the same and Ecuador went on to claim the final South American qualifying spot for the Under-20 World Cup.

Watch Carrasco hitting himself in the face with Montano's hand:

This kind of thing happens everywhere... but it happens with far too much frequency in South and Central American football. They like to celebrate this kinda shit as "gamesmanship"... my ass.
