The players of Pumas de la UNAM are once again in the news in Mexico . A few days ago, the Argentine Juan Ignacio Dinenno generated controversy by facing and threatening a fan . However, the results arrived and the auriazul team qualified for the repechage, but the euphoria overflowed them to such an extent that Erik Lira gave a “zape” to a member of security personnel of the stadium.
The agonizing victory of Pumas 4-3 over Cruz Azul , gave a little oxygen to the squad, the coaching staff and the board. Without a doubt, it was an epic triumph that overwhelmed the emotions at the University Olympic Stadium. But Erik Lira was caught on video hitting a security worker who was doing his work in the stadium.
However, through social networks they did not let this scene pass. In a week in which Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti could be punished for making comments with homophobic connotations , the fans ask that the Pumas footballer also be reprimanded for his attitude.
Pumas celebrate but will have to face a tough rival in the repechage
