A FOOTBALL fan has been caught on camera shining a laser pointer at a goalkeeper – and some reckon she looks familiar.
Broadcasters zoomed right in on a spectator in the Estudiantes end when they hosted Velez Sarsfield in the Primera Division earlier this month.

Moments earlier, a bright green light had been spotted darting around the chest and face of Velez stopper Alvaro Montero.
Hooligans sometimes use laser pointers as a way of distracting opponents – and they are strictly banned at matches.
But this fanatic was caught red-handed, aiming the bright green pointer while hiding in the stands.
With dark hair and eyes, some noticed a striking resemblance to a popular TV series character.
In response to the viral clip on , one user wrote: “Didn’t expect to see Meadow Soprano.”
Another posted: “What the f*** are you doing, Meadow Soprano?”
A third commented: “Calm down Meadow Soprano.”
And a fourth chimed in with: “Meadow Soprano was always disdained.”

Meadow is the fictional daughter of Tony in The Sopranos, with actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler featuring in 72 episodes.
The laser culprit was instead named by Argentine media as Delfina Quiroga – and the plot has thickened.
It has been reported that Quiroga is the daughter of a prosecutor in La Plata – the city Estudiantes call home.
She was named in court but it is claimed that there will be no criminal charges brought against her.
Other outlets have reported a stadium ban of between one and two years.
The laser pointing incident occurred midway through the second half, and Velez went on to win the game 1-0 thanks to Florian Monzon’s goal.
