As a drone hovered low across the Gimnasia stand, it was bombarded with a paper roll designed for use in a cash register. 

And as the following video shows, the anonymous thrower had a simply incredible aim to knock it out of the air with a crisp blow. 

Sadly Gimnasia's players did not show quite the same accuracy in the subsequent penalty shoot-out as Mitre triumphed 4-3 to clinch a place in the second-tier Nacional B for next season.

And the home side's grief may be compounded once the repair bill for the drone comes back!
