In this electrifying moment captured at Ashton Gate on the 1st of April, 2013, during the Npower Championship match between Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday, tensions reached a boiling point following a controversial penalty call. The focus of the confrontation is Greg Cunningham of the home team, who can be seen in a heated exchange with Sheffield Wednesday players after being penalized for diving. The incident occurred during the Old Firm derby, a crucial game in the 2012-2013 season. The atmosphere was already tense, with both sets of fans passionately supporting their teams. The controversy unfolded when Cunningham went down in the penalty area under minimal contact from a Sheffield Wednesday defender. The referee, under pressure from the home crowd, awarded a penalty to the hosts. The decision sparked an immediate reaction from the away team, with players protesting their innocence and accusing Cunningham of deceit. The confrontation escalated, with players from both sides pushing and shoving each other, resulting in a brief melee on the pitch. The incident was a turning point in the game, with the penalty leading to a goal for the home team and fueling the intensity of the match. This photo, taken by Joe Meredith of JMP, captures the raw emotion and tension of the moment, providing a snapshot of the passion and competitiveness that defines football. The controversy surrounding the penalty call added an extra layer of intrigue to an already thrilling derby match, making it a memorable moment in the history of the Npower Championship.
