The fans were particularly impressed with one spot which stole their hearts. The Chancla or the slipper is a very close object to Hispanic families and is often used to discipline children. Mid-way through the match, fans saw Zelina Vega grab a Chancla from her mother in the crowd and use it against Ripley.

Vega’s use of a foreign object should have been a disqualification, but for some reason, it didn’t happen. However, the spot was nostalgic to several Latin American families, and the Puerto Rican crowd cheered on Vega as she used the Chancla.
