Several journalists shared photos and videos. They reported that the firecracker hit a cameraman in the leg. As tension rose, players José Castillo and Fernando Beltrán stepped in to calm the situation.
The story gained rapid popularity, prompting Alvarado to take responsibility and apologize. He explained that he intended the firecracker as a harmless joke for his teammates, not for the press.
Some reporters returned to the conference later. Alvarado’s actions faced widespread condemnation from the local media. The incident fueled more criticism of Chivas’ poor season. They are 10th in Liga MX, with 15 points from 4 wins in 10 matches.
