On June 27, Cope reported that after the game between Italy and Croatia, a woman bit a fan on the shoulder while trying to grab a jersey from Croatia’s national team player Ivanusec when he threw the jersey to Croatian supporters.
In the last round of the European Championship group stage, Croatia were held to a 1-1 draw by Italy, ultimately finishing the group with 2 draws and 1 loss, with 2 points, failing to qualify for the Round of 16.
After the game, Ivanusec threw his jersey into the stands. When a young Croatian fan, Leonard Barisic, was about to pick up Ivanusec’s jersey, three foreign fans also went to grab the jersey. During the struggle, a woman bit Leonard Barisic.
Afterwards, Leonard Barisic uploaded a video of the incident to social media, showing clearly the bite mark on his arm. After learning about the incident, Ivanusec immediately contacted Leonard Barisic, giving him a new Croatia jersey, and wrote in his letter: “I’m sorry about what happened after the game, I hope you’ll be all right in the future.”
