The pitch invader who entered the field of play during Portugal's World Cup victory over Uruguay has claimed he has been released without any further action being taken.
Mario Ferri raced onto the pitch during the second half of last night's fixture, sporting a t-shirt with the words 'Save Ukraine' on the front and 'Respect for Iranian Women' on the back. He also carried a rainbow flag, which was left on the ground before later being picked up and removed by the referee.
This comes after the controversy surrounding the 'OneLove' armbands, which were due to be worn by the captains of six countries before the show of solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community was controversially ditched after being threatened by action from tournament organisers FIFA.
