In a free-kick towards the goal, goalkeeper Sergio Romero (Boca Juniors) intercepted the ball, but the broadcast showed something that left fans puzzled.
While the goalkeeper defended the ball, for some reason, the television images showed the ball heading towards the field, as if it had hit the goalpost.
The video circulated on the internet and left fans intrigued. “Maybe it was a bird,” commented one of them on the X network. Another said it was “a glitch in the Matrix.”
In a slowed-down video, it’s possible to see another object passing behind the goal before the ball reaches goalkeeper Romero. Then the object moves towards the midfield, causing strangeness for those watching.
