MARIO BALOTELLI found a hilarious way to decide who takes a penalty shot in his latest appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Balotelli currently plays for Turkish outfit Adana Demirspor, who beat Konyaspor 3-0 on Saturday at the New Adana Stadium.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

The Manchester City cult hero came off the bench and scored Demirspor's second just nine minutes before full-time.<\/p>\n

And the striker wanted to complete a brace in the third minute of stoppage time when the hosts won a spot-kick.<\/p>\n

But the ex-Italy international's team-mate M'Baye Niang also fancied it after opening the scoring in the 54th minute.<\/p>\n

This is a common theme in football with Chelsea stars Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling seen debating over a penalty against Arsenal only last week until Enzo Fernandez intervened in the former's favour.<\/p>\n

However, Balotelli and Niang found a more creative and funny way to settle this.<\/p>\n

The two forwards played rock, paper, scissors to decide on the taker, and it was the Watford flop who won.<\/p>\n

The Italian hothead, though, proved to be a good sport as he jokingly swiped Niang's face while walking away from the area.<\/p>\n

And the ex-Senegal international didn't let his team-mates down as he beat Konyaspor goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni to score his team's last goal of the match.<\/p>\n

It's usually the manager who decides who takes the penalties, but it seems like Demirspor boss Patrick Kluivert is happy with his players' methods.<\/p>\n

And Kluivert has a good reason to trust his players as the Turkish minnows have climbed up to third place in the Super Lig.<\/p>\n

Demirspor have won six of their first 10 league matches and lost only twice along the way.<\/p>\n
