Argentine legend Diego Maradona was captured in front of the camera with an obscene gesture of both hands as his team won a decisive victory over Nigeria on Tuesday.
Argentina was waiting for the elimination in the group stage before Marcos Rojo resumed the goal of victory in the 86th minute, causing mass celebrations among the crowd in St. Petersburg.
And the enigmatic Maradona, who had been expressive throughout the game since her mid-level seat, was leaning over a railing and showed the gesture to fans downstairs.
The camera, controlled by the organizers of the FIFA tournament, quickly cut the road to Maradona, who led Argentina to the title at the 1986 World Cup.
Argentina would have been eliminated by a draw, but the victory allowed them to finish second in Group D, and Lionel Messi and his compatriot will face France in the round of 16 on Saturday.
Maradona appeared overwhelmed at the final whistle, and the video posted online showed that he needed to be helped from his seat in the adjacent luxury box.
It was the second time this month that middle fingers were shown on camera at the World Cup, after singer Robbie Williams turned off the cameras while singing at the opening ceremony before the first match.
