00:00 Unfortunately, the Women's World Cup ended in scandal because a Spanish player was sexually
00:05 harassed at the award ceremony.
00:10 It was supposed to be a nice moment for the Spanish players, but not with Luiz Ruviales.
00:16 The head of the association went too far with Jennifer Hermoza.
00:19 He kissed her on the mouth during the trophy ceremony, almost forcing physical contact
00:22 on her.
00:25 The athlete seemed understandably overwhelmed by the situation and laughed instinctively.
00:30 "What should I do?
00:31 I didn't like it," she said later in an Instagram Live inside the dressing room.
00:36 The world was appalled by this scene.
00:38 People vented their anger on social media.
00:40 "You do that in front of the cameras or next to the queen.
00:43 I don't want to know what the players have to endure when nobody's there," said a user.
00:47 Other users seemed to agree.
00:49 "This guy is an idiot and disgusting.
00:51 Luiz Ruviales should be fired immediately," another said.
00:54 It's not the first time that Luiz Ruviales has attracted negative attention.
00:58 He is said to have embezzled association funds in the past as well.
