A FAN who went viral on social media for her dour expression while watching Colombia’s clash with DR Congo has been revealed as a former World Cup star’s daughter.
As Colombia earned a narrow 1-0 win over DR Congo to secure progression into the knockout rounds before they face Portugal, the stadium cameras picked up one fan who did not appear to be impressed.
The woman seen on TV wearing Colombia colours was seen puckering her lips almost in boredom.
Many people began speculating who the woman could be, with it now being revealed that she is the daughter of ex-Colombia star Mario Yepes.
Yepes, 50, has three children with his ex-wife: a son named Luciano, a daughter named Miranda and a second son, Valentino.
Miranda, who was born in 2005, was seen alongside Yepes – the second-most capped player in Colombian history with 102 appearances and was captain at the 2014 World Cup – at the Guadalajara Stadium in Mexico.
She is a model and influencer with a huge following on social media.
The 21-year-old has more than 150,000 followers on Instagram, plus almost 300,000 on TikTok, where she posts dance clips, travel vlogs, makeup routines and bold fashion choices.
Miranda confirmed her appearance at the game with a post on Instagram where she filmed videos and took pictures alongside her father.
She had clearly caught wind of her viral moment as well, as she captioned her post: “With a concentrated face that looks angry.
