An unusual incident involving a young fan and a professional footballer has resulted in an unexpected fine for Puntarenas FC. Following a match against Saprissa, a boy named Dereck Granados approached player Abraham Madriz to collect his signed jersey.

Granados, who appeared to be a young supporter, took possession of the jersey from Madriz. This act, while seemingly innocent from the fan's perspective, led the Disciplinary Tribunal to issue a fine to Puntarenas FC. The exact reasons for the fine, beyond the fan taking the jersey, are not detailed, but it marks a peculiar consequence for the club.

The article notes that the incident was captured and became a talking point, particularly within the context of national football. The interaction between Madriz and Granados, though brief, has drawn attention, highlighting a moment that transcended the typical player-fan dynamic. The fine imposed on Puntarenas FC adds a layer of official consequence to this memorable event.
