A video of a goalkeeper blatantly diving at opposing players' feet during a match in South Africa to obtain a foul has gone viral.

Maritzburg United goalkeeper Glenn Verbauwhede not only blatantly dived at the Golden Arrows player's shins, but he then complained to the referee that he had been fouled.

True to the form of many of the world's top attacking players, he fell to the ground clutching his face then got up immediately to accost the referee for not stopping the match for a free kick.

The cheating made the opposing team so furious that it almost resulted in an all out brawl, with pointing and pushing before the players eventually calmed down.
