SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – Compensation awarded to two South Korean fans for the cost of tickets and for so-called “mental anguish” because Cristiano Ronaldo didn't play in a preseason exhibition in Seoul last July is just the beginning, a Seoul-based lawyer said Wednesday.
The promoters of the exhibition between Italian giant Juventus and a K-League All Star team, advertised that Ronaldo would play for at least 45 minutes. But the Portuguese star stayed on the bench for the entire game, angering sections of the 65,000 crowd.
A court in Incheon, west of Seoul, on Tuesday ordered The Fasta to pay 371,000 won ($465) each to the two fans.
