A referee made the strange decision to stop the game between Brazil legends and an Israel Veterans XI on Tuesday, just to take a selfie with Kaka.
The friendly match was brought to a halt in the second half when Kaka was dribbling with the ball, and the Brazil great looked perplexed as referee Lilach Asulin showed him a yellow card.
The 28,000 fans in attendance were also aghast until Asulin pulled her mobile phone from her pocket and posed for a selfie with Kaka.

The former Real Madrid man took the booking in good jest and smiled for the photo before going on to score a superb individual goal later in the half.
Among the other 13 legends in the Brazil squad were Ronaldinho, Bebeto, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Cafu, Emerson, and Cesar Sampaio, and the Samba boys ran out 4-2 winners.
The Shalom Game was played in Haifa to promote coexistence in Israel and the Brazil Legends also committed to other philanthropic work on the eve of the event, visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem and children at the Rambam hospital in Haifa.
After the game, Kaka told reporters: 'The goal is to spread the values of soccer. We know it can unite peoples and even neutralize situations of conflict'.
