The Twitter user identified as Marcel commented on the event.
"Several free Cubans attended the stadium to shout freedom in the ball game between Cuba and Brazil. Once the game was over, the Castro delegation, notoriously upset by their team's defeat, ran into Damián, one of the free Cubans who were in the stadium asking for freedom for Cuba," Marcel said.
"In the video you can clearly see how the Olympic and world Greco-Roman wrestling medalist, Mijaín López, hits Damián," he said.
