At the FIFA 2018 World Cup semifinal, the match between England and Croatia ended up with Croatia winning. While celebrating the winning goal, Croatian soccer players crashed into the AFP photojournalist Yuri Cortez. But the photographer kept his cool, kept on shooting, and ended up with some great shots.
After scoring the second (and winning) goal, the players crushed into photographers and dog-piled Cortez. Although it all seems completely chaotic, no one got hurt, and the photographer stayed professional all the way. He kept on clicking and ended up with photos which quickly went viral.
Team Croatia apologized to the photographer after crushing him, and one of them even gave him a kiss on his head.

I bet Cortez didn’t count on a bunch of football players dogpiling on him, but it’s awesome to see how cool and professional he stayed. That’s the way to do it. [via Nikon Rumors]
