Cruzeiro's taunt for Boca fans in Belo Horizonte | OneFootball

Boca couldn’t keep their unbeaten run going in the Copa Libertadores and lost to Cruzeiro in Belo Horizonte. In a match marked by controversial refereeing decisions, Xeneize not only went through tense moments on the pitch, but the fans also had an unpleasant experience in the stands.

As is often the case in matches against Brazilian teams, rival fans provoke with the aim of getting the opposing supporters to react so they can be punished by the police and/or Conmebol. And this match was no exception.

According to what can be seen in the video shared by journalist Ezequiel Sosa, one of the Cruzeiro supporters goes up to the barrier separating him from the Boca fans to show banknotes and mock Argentina’s economy. Shortly afterward, one of those present appears to make gestures toward the Brazilians and, almost immediately, is arrested by the police.

According to the previously mentioned reporter, both Conmebol and the authorities already have the video of the Cruzeiro fan’s provocation, in which his face can clearly be seen, and he will be easily identifiable. Now, all that remains is to wait and see whether the Confederation will take action so that respect is mutual in every stadium across the continent.
