WATCH: Surreal footage as Sevilla's Lucas Ocampos gets kicked by a fan during a throw-in
Seville walked away with a crucial win against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night in Vallecas, giving him some breathing space. However, the match will always be remembered as the night a young fan got too close for comfort with the Sevilla and Argentina star Lucas Ocampos.
During the first half of the match, Ocampos lined up a long shot in the box of Rayo, Ocampos supported right to the billboards. A boy leaned over and patted Ocampos, for lack of a more eloquent expression, on his behind.

Understandably, Ocampos wasn't too happy with the fans, but remarkably, there was no action. The fans in question were not removed and were comfortably seated for the second half. After the match, Ocampos told DAZN that he had to control himself.
“No doubt the footage will show it. I hope the league takes it seriously, as seriously as they take racism, and these things. I don't think everyone Ray The fans are like that because they always treat us with respect, but there is always an idiot,” Ocampos said.

“I hope that this does not happen in other areas, because if it happens in women's football, we already know what could end. I have held back because I have two daughters and I hope that this does not happen to them. We hope that they will take measures that needs to be taken and I hope that an idiot like this does not tarnish the image of the rest of the fans, as the truth is that they behave very well, “explained Ocampos.
It is not yet clear what action will be taken, but if the child in question is a holder of a season clothing or a member, without a doubt his ability to go to the games is probably taken away.
