The love of football can make a fan do the unimaginable often occasioned in a spur of moment and this is apt in a soccer fan in Spain who intruded onto the pitch and tried to slap the female assistant referee with his penis.
The bizarre incident occurred during the 80th minute of the Andalusian Senior Second Division league game between CD Abes and Gabia CF in Granada on Sunday.
Referee Jesús Lorenzo Rodríguez wrote in his match report that the man “invaded the pitch and approached assistant number one and tried to hit her with his penis, which he had pulled out beforehand,” according to La Informacion.
Rodríguez identified the man as being a player from the rival local team Céltic de Pulianas, which plays in the league above the CD Abes and Gabia CF.
“He was wearing the team’s tracksuit and I recognized him from when I’d refereed in the past,” the referee noted, according to Spanish sports newspaper Marca.
It’s unclear exactly why the incident happened or whether the spectator will face criminal charges.
The game ended with a 3-2 win for the home team CD Abes.
