Watch: Balotelli jokingly ‘smokes’ on pitch after lighter thrown

Mario Balotelli gave Adana Demirspor fans a laugh when pretending to smoke after a lighter was thrown onto the pitch during a match against Fenerbahce.

After a difficult season in Switzerland, the 33-year-old Italian striker has rediscovered his form with Adana, netting seven goals in 11 Super Lig appearances this campaign. He missed 12 consecutive games due to a knee operation, but his goalscoring work has continued nonetheless.
