Argentine keeper conceded a goal in a stoppage-time for a 1-0 loss against mighty Boca Juniors, which left him in despair. But then a very young fan invaded the pitch...
It's been known for ages that a hug heals and comforts. That hugging helps a human soul. And football is not an exception at all.
We witnessed a moment like that in the aftermath of the super-exciting fixture between Defenca y Justicia and Boca Juniors in the Argentine top flight.

The minnows fought heavily against the giants, keeping a clean sheet and the game in a stalemate for the entire 90 minutes. However, there's also that damn stoppage-time, which often makes all the difference and brings a necessary drama (just ask BVB fans if you know what we're talking about).
The same happened in this encounter, as Boca's player Luis Vasquez scored the winner in the second minute of the added time. Ecstatic celebration at one end and tears of sorrow on the other.

But then, after the final whistle, all of a sudden, a kid - Defenca's fan, obviously, invaded the pitch to console his hero. His warm hug of compassion went viral, and now the club wants to find out the boy's name and thank him for such a divine gesture. Deservedly.
