A football match was in progress. Elvis, the striker, headed towards the opponent's goal with the ball at his feet.
Adam, the defender for the opposing team, tried to stop Elvis, but Elvis was fast. He slipped past Adam. In desperation Adam grabbed hold of Elvis's jersey thus stopping Elvis in his tracks.
Elvis was so upset by Adam’s illegal action that he hold turned, grabbed hold of Adam and started punching Adam.
Adam fought back and soon they were punching and kicking at each other.
The referee blew his whistle and showed the red card to the two brawlers. Elvis and Adam left the field indisgust. All they got for their trouble were a black eye and a torn jersey each.
