After appearing to celebrate a goal scored against his side, a footballer in Ukraine's second tier was apparently examined.
When Kremin Kremenchuk's Vitaliy Boyko's team, Uzhgorod, took the lead in the Ukrainian Persha Liga match, he was spotted raising his hands in the air in a cheering gesture.
As Uzhgorod ace Mykola Gayduchyk sends the ball in for the hosts, Boyko, 23, can be seen on the edge of the box, appearing to celebrate.
Some observers were perplexed by the situation, while others speculated that the midfielder was sarcastically congratulating his teammates for bad defending.
Investigation opened in Ukraine after FC Kremen player Vitaly Boyko celebrated his team conceding a goal. The player (No 18) claims it was frustration, not celebration: "How could I cheer for our opponents after spending 20 hours in a bus to get here?" pic.twitter.com/kAAsaJm51N
