On Thursday (16 September), Cruz Azul and Monterrey players took hit the pitch to play in the Concacaf Champions League semi-final.
At the 64-minute mark, Cruz Azul fans began shouting homophobic slurs towards the field which resulted in the match coming to a halt.
The players from both teams were then forced to walk off the pitch and head to their respective locker rooms. After 10 minutes, the match resumed and saw Monterrey winning the game with a 5-1 score.
This wasn’t the first time that homophobic behaviour was displayed during the tense match. Earlier in the game, referee’s scolded fans after they were heard shouting the “goalkeeper chant” – which included the anti-gay slur p**o.
