Goalkeeper Connor Maseko was despatched off for urinating in a hedge throughout an English FA Cup first-round qualifying match on Saturday.
Maseko, taking part in for ninth-tier Blackfield & Langley, was proven a pink card within the 76th minute of the goalless draw with Shepton Mallet.
After the ball went out for a aim kick, Maseko wanted to make use of the bathroom and determined to go up towards a hedge. He was seen by Shepton Mallet gamers who drew the incident to the eye of the referee.
“He protected himself. He was inside the hedge. Sometimes when you have to go you have to go,” Blackfield & Langley co-manager Conor McCarthy informed the BBC.
“I was gobsmacked. We’re all pretty shocked by the decision.”
