VIDEO: Austria's Rubin Okotie attempts 'Hand of God' goal vs. Brazil

Austria striker Rubin Okotie attempted to channel his inner Diego Maradona in the sixth minute of his side's friendly against Brazil on Tuesday.
After Austria were awarded a free kick roughly 30 yards away from goal, Christian Fuchs delivered a curling ball into the box that found its way into the back of the net following some handy assistance from Okotie.
However, Okotie didn't fool anyone. It was painfully clear that he had spiked the ball past Diego Alves using not one, but both of his hands, and the 1860 Munich forward subsequently received a yellow card for his Maradona-esque shenanigans.
Perhaps scoring the lone goal in Austria's 1-0 win over Russia in Euro 2016 qualifying on Saturday got to Okotie's head.
