Watch: A defender using a spare ball to stop attacker

After apparently thinking it was his throw-in, Stefan Kostov  of Macedonia's Akademija Pandev chased down a Makedonija GjP attacker with a spare ball in hand and used it to end the run. That ended his day on the field with a red card. Makedonija GjP won, 1-0, on a late goal.

    Throwing the spare ball to another ball is defined as a handball offence. So the game should start with a DFK and a possible YC for unsporting behaviour. The RC is a mystery...

    Not a handball offence. Serious Foul Play as he stopped an attack.
