When Stuttgart Striker Silas Wamangituka Was Shown Yellow Card For Scoring 'Disrespectful Goal'

When Stuttgart Striker Silas Wamangituka Was Shown Yellow Card For Scoring 'Disrespectful Goal'

Stuttgart forward Silas Wamangituka was given a yellow card after Werder Bremen kicked off over his goal.

Stuttgart forward Silas Wamangituka was given a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct after he scored one of the most disrespectful goals in recent memory.

The controversial moment happened in stoppage time during the club's Bundesliga clash against Werder Bremen a year ago today.

A defensive-mix-up between Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka and centre-back Omer Toprak outside the box meant the 21-year-old was in on-goal.

And as a helpless Pavlenka looked up to the sky in sheer disbelief, Wamangituka walked to the goal-line ever so slowly before blasting home from a yard out to make it 2-0.


It was a tad outrageous, to say the least.

Wamangituka's antics didn't go down well with many, including Bremen striker Davie Selke, who confronted the apologetic striker before the referee got involved.

He brandished a yellow card for a lack of sportsmanship and well, one of the stranger moments of recent footballing history was born.


Selke went up the other end and scored another late goal but it wasn't enough for the home side as Stuttgart left the Weser Stadium with all three points.

Stuttgart defender Marc Oliver Kempf was full of praise for goalscorer Wamangituka after the final-whistle.

"We went into this game with the aim of getting the three points. We can build on this performance." he said.

"Silas [Wamangituka] 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.
