Sevilla is calling on the leaders of the Spanish league to take tough action against a young fan of Rayo Vacano who committed a repulsive and offensive act against player Lucas Ocampos and pushed his finger into the winger's buttocks, yesterday (Monday) during the Andalusian's victory over the small team from Madrid.
The incident occurred in the 33rd minute and the stunned Argentine turned to the referee and Rayo players who tried to deal with the case immediately.

"We want to put on record our distaste for the event," Sevilla wrote in an official statement.
"Lucas Ocampos was subjected to an obscene and completely inappropriate act by a fan of the home team. We hope that the appropriate measures detailed in the regulations will be taken to prevent such behavior from occurring again on a football field, and we have expressed this directly to the league."
Rayo Waikanu said in its own statement that the incident was against their values as a football club and that they were working to identify the fan.
"This action is solely the personal responsibility of the fan who performed it," it said.
"Raio Waikano is now working to identify the fan so that if he is a season ticket holder of the club, it will be possible to take the appropriate disciplinary measures in accordance with the internal regulations."

O'Campus said he wants the league to take the incident "as seriously as it takes racism and other repulsive things."
"You can see what happened," Ocampos told DAZN.
"I hope the league takes it as seriously as it takes racism and other repulsive things. I don't think all Rayo people are like that because they always treated us with respect, but there's always one fool. I hope it doesn't happen in other places, because if it happens in the game Women's soccer we know what can happen. I kept my cool because I have two daughters, I hope this doesn't happen to them in the future. I hope severe action will be taken, and I hope such a fool does not tarnish a group of fans."
