Amazing moment camera operator busts fan shining laser in keeper’s eyes

A FOOTBALL fan has been caught on camera shining a laser pointer at a goalkeeper – and some reckon she looks familiar.

Broadcasters zoomed right in on a spectator in the Estudiantes end when they hosted Velez Sarsfield in the Argentine Primera Division earlier this month.

Moments earlier, a bright green light had been spotted darting around the chest and face of Velez stopper Alvaro Montero.

Hooligans sometimes use laser pointers as a way of distracting opponents – and they are strictly banned at matches.

But this South American fanatic was caught red-handed, aiming the bright green pointer while hiding in the stands.

With dark hair and eyes, some noticed a striking resemblance to a popular TV series character.

In response to the viral clip on X, one user wrote: “Didn’t expect to see Meadow Soprano.”

Another posted: “What the f*** are you doing, Meadow Soprano?”

A third commented: “Calm down Meadow Soprano.”

And a fourth chimed in with: “Meadow Soprano was always disdained.”

Meadow is the fictional daughter of Tony in The Sopranos, with actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler featuring in 72 episodes.

The laser culprit was instead named by Argentine media as Delfina Quiroga – and the plot has thickened.

It has been reported that Quiroga is the daughter of a prosecutor in La Plata – the city Estudiantes call home.

She was named in court but it is claimed that there will be no criminal charges brought against her.

Other outlets have reported a stadium ban of between one and two years.

The laser pointing incident occurred midway through the second half, and Velez went on to win the game 1-0 thanks to Florian Monzon’s goal.
