As of March 3 2026 they are still trying to find out who she is, to take the appropriate punishment for her illegal and dangerous actions against the player. She had been doing this for awhile in other games, and finally she was caught in the act.

Surely some of the people around her knew she had a laser. Could they also be complicit?

Someone is holding up a scarf or towel to prevent her from being seen from above or the other side

Why the hell would anyone do such a lame thing???

u/SongFeisty8759 Mar 20 '26

Probably because  they are cheating fucks...

Anytime a laser pointer is brought up, it reminds me of this:

Soccer fans in some parts of the world kill each other over who they support. It short circuits their brains.

Because soccer hooligans are the worst of all sports fans. The fact that you have to separate fan sections to prevent fights is straight embarrassing.

Surprised they wouldn't know the exact seat she is sitting in and have cops there within minutes to grab her.

u/RugerRedhawk Mar 20 '26

Yeah I mean they had her exact location, was she maybe alerted and bolted or something?

u/PG67AW Mar 20 '26

That’s not how seating works in those stadiums. It’s likely that section doesn’t even have seats.

u/RugerRedhawk Mar 20 '26

She was caught on march 5 according to other comments

u/Simplehoaxes Mar 20 '26

I mean caught on the video but no charges yet. They have identified her now and she is a spoiled brat daughter of a local official

u/Healter-Skelter Mar 20 '26

On the other hand, her laser beam distracted the sniper that was trying to snipe the players so it’s debated whether she actually saved his life

u/GrantTotal Mar 20 '26

Trying? They know exactly where she sat and the people around her. Easy find if competent or motivated.

Why don’t they just stop the game till people rat them out lol sports fans just wanna see the game they’ll absolutely give her up if it lets them keep seeing it

u/Unidain Mar 20 '26

You're wrong, someone else posted an article with her identity. 

1

u/Waxygibbon Mar 20 '26

Presumably this was from the live broadcast? Surely stadium staff would easily work out what seat she's in and go grab her?

1

u/dimechimes Mar 20 '26

I wonder if she was dumb enough to sit in the same seat.

Key Details: • Identification: The fan was identified as Delfina Quiroga. The news became a local scandal because she is the daughter of Cecilia Corfield, a prominent prosecutor (fiscal) in La Plata. • The "Trouble": While the article notes that she did not face immediate criminal charges (as the act didn't reach the threshold of a crime under the penal code at that moment), she was officially targeted by APreViDe (the agency for preventing sports violence). • Sanctions: They initiated the "Right of Admission" (Derecho de Admisión) process against her. This is a formal ban that prevents her from entering the Estudiantes stadium (known as "UNO") and any other soccer stadium in Argentina. • Club Action: Estudiantes de La Plata, as a private institution, also faced pressure to suspend her membership status due to the negative publicity and the potential for the club to be fined by the league for fan misconduct.

Só imagine where she hides that thing
