Siya humorously recounted the incident:

"I’m a Liverpool fan, and we were sitting right next to the Chelsea supporters. We had a few drinks, and I was feeling pretty confident. Chelsea scored first, but then Liverpool equalized. I couldn’t help myself—I stood up and screamed at the top of my lungs. I was absolutely thrilled! But then, all of a sudden, the entire stadium went quiet, and every single person turned to look at me. That’s when I realized I was in serious trouble."

It was at this point that Eben Etzebeth, ever the calm and protective friend, stepped in. Siya described how Eben stood up, his imposing figure and muscular frame sending a clear message to the surrounding fans. Eben’s presence was enough to diffuse the tension, but not before he had a little chat with Siya.

Siya joked about Eben’s warning:

"I quickly sat back down, and Eben leaned over and said, 'If you do that again, I’ll do something to you myself.' I immediately replied, 'Yes, sir! No problem!' I knew better than to push my luck."
