Ecuadorian soccer player tries to bite opponent’s nose, which isn’t allowed in soccer

The rules forbid that.

A corner-kick collision in this match over the weekend between Ecuador’s Deportivo Quevedo and Barcelona SC led to a bit of a kerfuffle, which naturally led to Deportivo’s Edwin Hurtado trying to take a bite out of his opponent’s nose:

The opponent, Andres Franzoia, probably flopped a bit there, but such actions are forgivable in the presence of snout-chompers. Do what you need to avoid getting your nose snacked upon.

But anyway, so we’re clear: Soccer is the game where you KICK the BALL with your FEET, not the one where you BITE the NOSE OF YOUR OPPONENT with your TEETH. That’s hockey, I think.
