THIS is the moment Stuttgart star Silas Wamangituka gets booked for walking the ball into the net for a last-gasp goal.
The ace had put his side 1-0 up at Werder Bremen with a 30th minute penalty.

But in the 91st minute Wamangituka found himself clear through on goal following a defensive calamity from the home side.
There was nobody near the midfielder as he realised his path to goal was completely clear.
But instead of simply hitting the ball into the back of the net, Wamangituka found another way to rub salt in the wound.
He jauntily rolled the ball at a snail’s pace towards the empty Bremen goal, stopping occasionally to look over his shoulder as if taunting the opposition.
The home side’s goalkeeper eventually took the bait and charged towards Wamangituka.
But he simply picked up his pace and jogged the ball into the back of the net.
However, the referee did not see the funny side of it.
And he immediately booked Wamangituka for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Stuttgart were then given a scare when Bremen pulled one back moments later through Davie Selke.
But they held on for the win which took them to eighth in the Bundesliga table.
Speaking after the game, Stuttgart’s star man Marc Olivier Kempf was full of praise for Wamangituka.
He said: “We went into this game with the aim of getting the three points. We can build on this performance.
“Silas brings a lot of enthusiasm, physical strength and pace. He always manages to create space and danger.
“It makes it all the nicer that he managed to help us with his two goals today.”
