The Corinthians club has issued an official statement, stating that the behaviour of the fans was unacceptable and that they expect such incidents not to happen again. The statement also reiterates the club's commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for all fans.
The incident occurred after the child received the jersey from Neymar, who had a significant impact on the match. The Corinthians team, led by Fernando Diniz, suffered their third consecutive defeat in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
The club has vowed to maintain a safe and respectful atmosphere, especially when it comes to children. The next match for Corinthians is against Chapecoense on Sunday, where they will look to bounce back from their recent losses.
