Here's a heartwarming story, the best part of which is the picture they chose to go with it  

A league match in Madagascar has produced a result that has to be a new world record. Newly-crowned Madagascan champions AS Adema thrashed their arch-rivals Stade Olympique I'Emyrne 149-0 in a top national league game. But it was not their outstanding skill that led to the outlandish scoreline. 

It was because Olympique deliberately scored one own goal after another in protest over a refereeing decision. Radio Madagascar reported that Olympique began banging the ball into their own net after their coach Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka lost his temper with the referee. "
