Bayern defender Stanisic sorry for pushing ball kid in Champions League loss

MILAN (AP) — Bayern Munich defender Josip Stanisic has apologized for pushing a ball kid during the Champions League quarterfinal loss at Inter Milan.

Stanisic pushed the ball kid off his stool after the boy appeared to throw the ball away to delay Stanisic taking a throw-in during added time. Bayern was seeking another goal to force extra time and went on to lose Tuesday's game 4-3 on aggregate.

“Every team in the world tries to run down the clock a little. They did that a bit better than some others," Stanisic told German media in comments broadcast on Wednesday by sports website RAN.
