In a Copa Libertadores tournmament soccer match in Group 2 with Lanus (Argentina) hosting Flamengo (Brazil), Flamengo's Ronaldinho was setting up for a corner kick just before halftime when a young boy in the stands was caught on camera spitting at him.
(DISCLAIMER: Kids, don't try to imitate this type of behavior.)
Just a guess, but the boy looks like he was in the 10-12 year old range. Shameful behavior that shows a total lack of respect. You can only hope that his parents, or another responsible adult, will call him out on this.
Also noteworthy from the video is the lighter landing near Ronaldhino that was thrown by another fan. Hopefully security tracked that person down and tossed them out of the stadium.
On a side note, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
H/T Dirty Tackle.
