In the 2012 Serie A Season, a rare moment in a match between Lazio and Napoli stands out and have been a point of reference for years now.
It was fourth minute into the game when Lazio Player, Miroslav Klose scored from a corner kick, while his teammates were celebrating his early opener, Klose approached the referee and told him that his goal should be disallowed; he said he had handled the ball before it went into the opponent's (Napoli) net.
The referee with his surprised face, disallowed Klose' goal.
It was at that point Klose earned himself a name in the world football, not for his many goals, nor for his skillfulness but for his rare gesture of sincerity.
