"They are things that occur. I reacted in that moment because I was angry and what I did was a matter of in the moment, because I don't have a past with actions of this type. Also, I don't know to who I showed it to, and the only thing that I can say is ask for apologies to the people who felt offended by my actions."' – Antony Silva apologizing about his reaction to the crowd in a game against Nacional Asunción[9]
