Soccer player's scary run-in with firecracker

 When fans throw something on the pitch, play usually stops. That's not how Dinamo Bucharest's Gabriel Torje does it, though. When his own fans threw a large, blazing firecracker just in front of him as he made a move towards goal in the Romanian Cup final against Steaua Bucharest, he tried to play on like dodging firecrackers is a part of the game.
 The referee did stop play for a moment after that, however, and it seems being unable to take advantage of the diversion hurt Dinamo because they ended up losing the match to their rival by a score of 2-1.
