Israel defender Tal Ben Haim appeared to place a hex on Wales midfielder Gareth Bale as he prepared to take a free kick during Sunday's European Championship qualification game.
As Israel formed a wall between Bale and the net, Ben Haim, who was not part of the wall, was seen wiggling his fingers and waving his arms to apply the jinx.
Here's another angle which includes the end result, as Bale sent the free kick over the crossbar. So apparently the hex worked?
Israel and Wales finished in a scoreless draw.
H/T FTW.
