A shocking refereeing decision in South Africa at the weekend saw Baroka FC midfielder Sipho Moeti booked for showboating while taking on his opponent.
Moeti's side were 3-0 against Platinum Stars when he decided to get the crowd going by showboating against his opposing defender.
But after placing his knees on the ball, the referee intervened and booked Moeti to the crowd's disbelief, as shown in the video below.
Moeti revealed after the game that the incident won't stop him from performing tricks in the future, and that he would like the club to rightly appeal the booking.
"I was disappointed with the yellow card. I believe the opponent was far and I was within my right to show off my skill," he said.
"I am going to speak to the club tomorrow and see if they can appeal against the yellow card. Those who defend must defend. Those who pass must pass the ball. Those who have skill, let them show it.
"Football fans come to the stadium for entertainment. Let's give them goals and skills on the field of play."
