Video: South American football fans raid rivals’ trophy cabinet

Tom Victor

A group of football fans made a bold attempt to impose the universal law of “finders, keepers” during a Paraguayan league game.

More than 1,000 supporters of Olimpia evaded police to raid the trophy cabinet of rivals Guarani, holding the silverwave up in mock-celebration before throwing it down onto the pitch.

The clubs are fierce rivals, with Olimpia holding the record for most trophies in Paraguay and Guarani having won the country’s first league title back in 1906.

We just hope this won’t give fans of certain English clubs any ideas..
