A scorned woman has raffled off her boyfriend’s Copa America tickets after he allegedly cheated on her – and even gave away his beloved shirt signed by Lionel Messi.
Candela Fassino decided to hit her boyfriend where it hurts most – his love for football – and gave away his tickets to two Copa America matches to see his beloved Argentina.
Fassino, originally from Buenos Aires, accused her husband on social media of cheating on her best friend.
In a viral post she claimed: ‘Hello everyone, here’s the idiot who is now addressing you as a cuckold. My boyfriend just cheated on me with my best friend and look what I got here.
‘The fool left his Copa America tickets for the next two matches. And now I’m going to raffle everything off.’

Fassino said: ‘Follow the account called @nuncatefiesdeuna because tomorrow I’m giving away the cup tickets.
“Oh and I forgot: for all you idiots who think you’re special, never trust a woman scorned.”
In a follow-up video the next day, Fassino announced the winner of her Instagram contest and promised to give away something even more valuable than the tickets.
She held up an Argentina shirt signed by none other than Lionel Messi and asked her 9,000 followers: ‘Who wants this shirt?’
Hundreds of users responded in the thread hoping to win the autographed shirt.
The winner has yet to be announced.
Fassino explained that she first realized her boyfriend would cheat on her when Argentina played their first tournament match against Canada on June 21.

In a social media post, she called her boyfriend an ‘idiot’ – and decided to take action
She said: ‘I was recently in a relationship with this man and recently his friends got together with mine when the national team played its first cup match.
‘I noticed that the atmosphere was a bit tense, but I attributed that to the fact that everyone was meeting each other for the first time.’
She said she then saw her partner texting her best friend.
Fassino said: ‘I asked him why he wrote to her and he couldn’t explain it very well, so I opened the chat and realized parts of the conversation had been deleted.
“The last few messages have made no sense and many have come out of nowhere.”
