Referee István Kovács managed to get vanishing spray in the face of FC Hermannstadt’s Ionuț Stoica during the second leg of their Cupa României semi-final tie with Gaz Metan on Thursday.

It looks like an accident as the pair pass each other in preparation for a free-kick at Stadionul Gaz Metan.

But the ref does appear to notice the centre-back a few moments before the incident.
