Watch supporter catch a FISH during football match as fans ask ‘what in the Captain Birdseye is going on?’
THIS is the bizarre moment a supporter catches a FISH during an Italian Serie A match.
The hilarious incident occurred during Fiorentina’s trip to rivals Sassuolo on Saturday.
The visitors prepared for Wednesday’s Europa League final against West Ham by sealing an impressive 3-1 win.
But the most exciting action of the game came in the away end.
Sassuolo’s pitch famously has a moat in front of the visiting supporters to prevent them from rushing onto the pitch.
The novel idea was first installed in 1995 and has so far done its job.
However, the waterway has since acquired a number of live fish.
And away fans tend to make a habit of trying to catch them during games.
An Inter Milan was famously successful as he landed a fish 18 months ago.
But one Fiorentina fan joined the exclusive club as he hooked into one on Saturday.

The delighted supporter received a raucous response as he waved the creature towards the crowd.
But fans left at home were left completely baffled by the surreal experience.
One said: “What in the Captain Birdseye is going on here?”
Another declared: “Bro just wanted to watch the football.”
One noted: “Yeah mate I have no clue either.”
Another added: “Fish and chips and watching Fiorentina.”
