In a video posted on X by one of Mexico Cityβs leading daily newspapers, La Jornada, the incident occurred when Ceballos moved to dismiss BolΓvar from the game after an offence.
Instead of walking away, the player turned back and struck her across the face, sparking uproar among players and spectators.
Visibly furious, the referee attempted to retaliate with a kick before colleagues and players intervened which prevented her from fighting back.
