At the very least, a bizarre incident marked the night this Wednesday (22) in South American football.

During the match between Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata and Acassuso, valid for the Copa Argentina and played at Estadio Ciudad de Caseros, a fan tried to steal one of the official broadcast cameras.

The most unusual detail is that the attempt ended up being shown live to viewers watching the match on television.

The situation was quickly noticed and handled by the authorities present.

Another spectator, who was watching the game from the stands, managed to film the exact moment when security agents removed the man from the stadium and handed him over to the local police, according to reports from the Argentine press.

On the field, Gimnasia had no trouble with their opponent and secured a comfortable 3-0 victory.

The goals that sealed the team’s qualification for the next stage of the tournament were scored by Torres, Giampaoli, and Barros Schelotto.
