WATCH: Brazilian soccer player purposely falls off stretcher to waste precious time

As annoying as it may be, soccer players killing time during a match is just a part of the sport. We see everyone do it, from goalkeepers to ball boys, and it's a pretty effective way to hold on to a result with just a couple minutes to go.

Then there is this: Lucao, a player for Brazilian club Criciuma, wanted to waste some time during his team's visit to Internacional in Serie B action on Saturday. After scoring a goal earlier in the game, he was carted off the pitch with an injury, but before he was taken away he decided to roll off the cart onto the ground.
