In the final of the Copa Sudamericana, Argentina's Racing Club team became the champion by defeating Brazilian representative Cruzeiro 3-1. However, the event that overshadowed the match was when a Racing fan came to the game with his grandfather's skull. "THIS IS MY GRANDFATHER"In the match played in Asunción, the capital of Paraguay, the fan kissed the skull and said, "This is my grandfather Valentín Aguilera. He is my love, Racing is my love, and it was my grandfather's love too." "HOW DID YOU GET THROUGH SECURITY?"In response to the announcer's question, "How did you get through security with a human skull?" the fan replied, "I passed it with my faith, with my love for Racing; it passed by itself." The announcer commented on this situation as "proof that the passion for football even transcends the boundaries of death."
