With time winding down in their match against Nigeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina grew increasingly desperate for an equalizer.
The last thing the squad needed was more time being taken off the clock, so when Nigerian midfielder Michael Babatunde fell injured on the pitch, Bosnian goalkeeper Asmir Begovic went over and dragged him off the field of play so as to avoid a stoppage.
The "helping hand" wasn't exactly appreciated by the Nigeria training staff, nor did the official on the touch line want to thank the 'keeper for his involvement in the situation.
