Tottenham vs Liverpool Champions League final pitch invader jailed after Copa America stunt

The pitch invader from Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League final defeat to Liverpool has been jailed after a similar attempt at the Copa America on Sunday went wrong.

Spurs' loss to Liverpool in Madrid on June 1 was briefly interrupted by Kinsey Wolanski, who ran onto the field as part of a VitalyzdTV stunt.

Images showed that Wolanski's attire featured the words 'Vitaly Uncensored' - which is a reference to Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, a Russian-American YouTube personality.

Play was halted shortly after Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool the lead in the first half thanks to a penalty goal as Moussa Sissoko was called for a handball following Sadio Mane 's cross.

Stewards quickly escorted Wolanski off of the field but that brief appearance naturally led to her gaining attention across the world.

Wolanski, who saw her Instagram followers grow from 300,000 to 3.1m after last month's stunt, was as at it again with her boyfriend Zdorovetskiy in Brazil over the weekend.

The duo landed seats inside the stadium but her attempt to enter the field of play was halted by an army of security guards.

Wolanski has since shared pictures of their disguises and explained what happened at the Maracana Stadium.

"I’ll admit Copa America you definitely won but we had one hell of an adventure trying," Wolanski posted on Instagram.

"Flew to brazil, dressed up in disguise, made it to our seats and it ended in Vitalys bad a** getting tackled by 20 security guards.

"We are out of jail and now enjoying our time in Brazil!"
