Would you have used your hands as a soccer defender?

If you were a soccer defender and the opposing team took a shot which would no doubt score, would you use your hands to block the shot as this guy did here (on this great 44 second video)?

Ironically, the subsequent penalty kick was missed (also on the video), so the defender’s action paid off.
Some people I’ve spoken with told me they wouldn’t block it with their hands as this is a rule violation. But so what? There’s a penalty kick to deal with violations. Besides, the NBA has intentional fouls, this soccer player committed an intentional foul that paid off.
Would you have done the same?
