An Israeli referee penalized a retired Brazilian soccer star during a friendly match in Israel Tuesday, for no other apparent reason than to take a selfie with him. The Shalom Game in the northern city of Haifa was between former players from Brazil and Israel. The match, which Brazil won 4-2 and some 28,000 fans attended, was aimed at promoting coexistence. During the second half of the game, Brazilian former attacking midfielder Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, known as Kaka, was dribbling down the field when referee Lilach Asulin blew the whistle and hit him with a yellow card. As Kaka and other players looked on in surprise, Asulin preceded to take out her phone and snap a photo with the former Real Madrid and AC Milan star, who then cracked a smile and patted the referee on the back. Apparently realizing what had transpired, a number of the Brazilian players came up to Asulin and laughed as they shook her hand. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-referee-books-brazilian-soccer-star-to-snap-selfie/
