Swedish defender Andreas Johansson has committed one of the most absurd attempts to draw a free kick ever witnessed on a football field.

The incident occurred during a match between Norrkoping and AIK in the Swedish top tier.

As AIK’s striker Mohamed Bangura raised his arm to signal for the ball from a throw-in, Johansson saw the opportunity to stage for a free.

Johansson approached his opponent from behind, causing his head to make contact with Bangura’s raised arm. Upon contact, Johansson hit the ground like a sack of potatoes tossed off the back of a truck, writhing in pain, two hands covering his clearly uninjured face.

The ridiculousness of the attempt was then perfectly summed up by Bangura, who upon realising what his opponent had attempted, broke out in uncontrollable laughter.

And of course, Johansson was quick to return to his feet once he realised he had fooled absolutely no one.
