MARIO BALOTELLI found a hilarious way to decide who takes a penalty shot in his latest appearance.
Balotelli currently plays for Turkish outfit Adana Demirspor who beat Konyaspor 3-0 on Saturday at the New Adana Stadium.
The Manchester City cult hero came off the bench and scored Demirspor’s second just nine minutes before full-time.
However, the striker wanted to complete a brace in the third minute of stoppage time when the hosts won a spot-kick.
But the ex-Italy international’s team-mate M’Baye Niang also wanted to net his second after opening the scoring in the 54th minute.
This is a common theme in football with Chelsea stars Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling seen debating over a penalty against Arsenal only last week until Enzo Fernandez intervened in the former’s favour.

However, Balotelli and Niang found a more creative and funny way to settle this.
The two forwards played rock, paper, scissors to decide on the taker, and it was the Watford flop who won.
The Italian hothead, though, proved to be a good sport as he jokingly swiped Niang’s face while walking away from the area.
And the ex-Senegal international didn’t let his team-mates down as he beat Konyaspor goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni to score his team’s last goal of the match.

It’s usually the manager who decides who takes the penalties, but it seems like Demirspor boss Patrick Kluivert is happy with his players’ methods.
And Kluivert has a good reason to trust his players as the Turkish minnows have climbed up to third place in the Super Lig.
Demirspor have won six of their first 10 league matches and lost only twice along the way.
