Knocked out of the Copa Sudamericana at home, Brazilian club Chapecoense was comforted by fans of victorious Union La Calera of Chile who cleaned the bathrooms reserved for away fans.
"Reasons to believe," tweeted Chapecoense, along with photos of spotless terracing and sparkling urinals.
"Yesterday, after the match, Union La Calera fans gathered all the garbage from the south stand and cleaned the toilets they used," the tweet continued. "A great attitude that leaves us filled with gratitude!"
The match ended 1-1 and the Chileans advanced on away goals because the first leg had been goalless.
