An incident occurred in section 132 of Stade Saputo on Saturday night during the game between CF Montreal and New York Red Bulls.
In a message posted on the Twitter platform, a person describes the story of his friend who went down to the Ultras section, fierce supporters of the team, to better see the penalty awarded in the stoppage time of the second half.
This same user mentions that his boyfriend wore the new CF Montreal jersey, which was given a new identity before the start of the 2021 season. However, this new brand image displeases the Ultras, who have asked the victim to remove his sweater, something he would have done for the first two penalty attempts. The man, however, would have put his jersey back on after the third attempt, a goal from Victor Wanyama which gave the home team the victory. It was at this point that the man was allegedly attacked by the partisan group.
The Ultras responded to these accusations, however, blaming instead the behavior of the man they said was acting while under the influence of alcohol.
“Security has been advised of the situation (by us) and they have the means to analyze the incident, which has no connection with his jersey,” they replied on Twitter. Your friend was throwing beer on the field and he was intoxicated to the point of throwing up in the section. He ended up pushing a young girl. “
