Football is known as the beautiful game and something that happened during a women's football game has won the internet since the incident came to light.
During a football match between Jordan's Shabab al Ordon Club and Arab Orthodox Club in the WAFF Women's Club Championship, a footballer's hijab came undone while trying to dribble past her opponents.
What the opponents did has won the hearts of netizens all over. The very players who were tasked to defend against her and who all she was trying to get past, came to her aid. The players came around to form a huddle around to protect her modesty.
Here have a look at the video:

Having respect for someone else’s customs and beliefs even if they aren’t your own. We definitely need more of this in the world today. — Etan Thomas (@etanthomas36) October 14, 2019
