Rampla Juniors in Uruguay were ordered to play two matches in an empty stadium after crowd trouble. But could fans have cheated their suspension by getting on a boat?

Sadly not.

Pictures show a group of fans watching the club's game against Montevideo Wanderers in a conveniently placed vessel close to the action.

But a pair of pictures shared by Argentine journalist Julian Iglesias revealed that the image was a fake:

However, it does appear that some fans did manage to find a vantage point—just not on the water:

Full marks for ingenuity, whether you're up in the mountains cheering on your team or Photoshopping an image that had plenty—including us—fooled.
