With a chance to seal victory for Juventus, 25-year-old Leonardo Bonucci received a pass inside of the Palermo penalty area which put him one-on-one with the opposition goalkeeper.

Bonucci attempted to take the ball around Palermo goalkeeper Samir Ujkani who didn't fall for anything the Juventus forward was selling. Expecting contact but not receiving any, Bonucci nonetheless continued his grand master plan, which appears to have been to win his team a penalty instead of outright scoring.  

Thin air ultimately made the tackle that sent Bonucci crashing to the ground. Sadly, the referee failed to spot the infringement and instead awarded Bonucci with a yellow card for simulation.
