A ball boy at Altos Hornos Zapla was seen spitting on a group of Gimnasia y Tiro players as they celebrated scoring a penalty against the home side.

Gimnasia y Tiro won 3-0 at Altos Hornos Zapla’s Estadio Emilio Fabrizzi in a game prior to the final of the play-offs to reach Torneo Argentino A, the regionalised third tier of the Argentinian football league.

Late in the second half, the visitors put themselves three goals in front with a penalty.

But as the goalscorer was congratulated by his teammates, one of the ball boys stepped onto the pitch to spit on them – an incident which has been widely condemned in the local press.
