Hoffenheim's mascot Hoffi was so overcome by Roberto Firmino's volley against Eintracht Braunschweig on Saturday he ran on to the pitch to celebrate with the team.
Yet the jobsworth referee wasn't having any of it and Hoffi the Moose was then sent off the field of play.
Hoffenheim ended up winning their game against Eintracht Braunschweig 3-1.
