Colombia pulled off a stunner in the 2015 Women’s World Cup by taking down France, 2-0. The victory was aided by a completely obvious handball in the penalty area by midfielder Daniela Montoya that somehow went unnoticed by the referee.

To be fair, the infraction looks so much worse in slow motion.

There’s a lesson here. If you’re going to cheat, then really cheat. None of this gray-area stuff.
