Carlos Bacca’s mother has admitted she would have clobbered Neymar with her high heel if she had been in the stadium for Colombia"s Copa América win against Brazil.
Eloísa Ahumada told the Colombian regional paper El Heraldo that she had lost her calm watching the fiery tie in which Neymar and Bacca were both sent off at the end of the match. Both players were sent off and Neymar was given a four-match ban that rules him out for the rest of the tournament. She said: “I felt anger and helplessness; I wanted to be there to push him [Bacca] away so they couldn’t hit him because it could have been serious. But if I’d have been in the stadium I would have taken off my high heel and hit Neymar; I know many women in the stadium would have joined me."
