Rayo Vallecano fan slapped with stadium ban & fine for poking Sevilla's Lucas Ocampos in the bum

Ocampos was preparing to take a throw-in during his team's La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-lucas-ocampos-outraged-poked-bum-rayo-vallecano-fan-sevilla-la-liga-incident-seriously-as-racism/blt60a25851cea52b0b" target="_blank">when a fan reached out and poked him</a>. The game was paused as Ocampos alerted the referee and the national police soon got involved. The Spanish government’s anti-violence commission has since given the young supporter a €6,000 (£5,100/$6,400) fine and a one-year suspension from stadiums in the country.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The anti-violence commission said: "This serious incident against the integrity of the visiting team’s player caused the match to be stopped for several minutes. After what happened, the spectator and his friends displayed a joking and defiant attitude towards the player’s protests."

WHAT WAS SAID

Ocampos spoke out in anger after the game, saying on GolTV: "Hopefully La Liga takes the incident seriously, like it does with racism... If this was to happen in women’s football, we know what can happen. I restrained myself because I have two daughters and I hope it does not happen to them in the future. I hope that the action that needs to be taken is taken and this does not stain an entire fanbase."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Rayo Vallecano fan will have to pay the fine and serve his suspension before he can attend another match in Spain. In the meantime, Ocampos and Sevilla, who beat Rayo 2-1 that night, will come up against Valencia in La Liga on Saturday.
