A cat got close to the action in a top-flight match in Croatia
Goalkeeper Ivan Banovic was booked after rescuing a pitch-invading cat during a top-flight match in Croatia.
Medjimurje Cakovec's Banovic picked up the wandering feline after it strayed on to the pitch 20 minutes into his team's match at Sibenik.
He placed it safely near a scoreboard but was then booked by the referee for leaving the pitch without permission.
Media reports said the official's actions annoyed fans, who barracked him for punishing Banovic's kind deed.
If the moggy was a home fan, it would been left purring as Sibenik won 1-0 to go second in the table.
