A funny incident occurred during the World Cup 2026 qualifying match between New Zealand and Fiji, which ended with a score of 7-0.
New Zealand forward Chris Wood scored a hat trick and was substituted in the second half. After his exit, he went up to the stands to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.
However, the referee decided to give the 33-year-old striker a yellow card for his actions. Chris Wood responded to the situation with a smile.
