A beautiful story! The Bosnian ballboy who stole Donnarumma's cheat sheet is heading to the World Cup

An amusing yet truly heartwarming story.

Details: According to Topskills Sports UK, Bosnian journalists managed to track down the 14-year-old ballboy who, during the penalty shootout of the World Cup qualifying playoff between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy, stole the cheat sheet with the directions of Bosnian players' penalty kicks from the Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

In Bosnia, the cleverness of 14-year-old Afan Cizmic—our hero—was highly praised. Officials announced that the boy will travel with the main group of journalists to the USA and will attend his native country's matches at the World Cup.

During the shootout, Afan noticed that Donnarumma had hidden the note quite far from the goal, next to his towel. As soon as he had an opportunity, Afan walked over, grabbed it, and hid it, depriving the Italian goalkeeper of a major advantage.

In the end, these tactics helped the Bosnia national team pull off a sensational upset: they defeated the "Squadra Azzurra" and clinched a spot at the World Cup.
