But in the end, it was Celtic who came out on top, 1-0. This secured their spot in the last 16 play-off round. Needless to say, Celtic fans were absolutely elated!

These long-time soccer fans are no strangers to watching these games in person. But nothing this magical has ever happened to them before! Once the game was over, Joshua asked if they could get closer to the opposing team’s side of the stadium. When they got there, it was clear the Young Boys fans were still in good spirits, despite the loss. But their attitudes only got better when Joshua led an impromptu cheer with them!

Soccer Fans From Opposing Teams Participate in the Most Wholesome Display of Sportsmanship

In the video above, Joshua is shown interacting with the large group at a distance. According to his Dad, the young boy started simply by clapping. But once the nearby soccer fans took notice, they began to join in on the fun. Before they knew it, Joshua was leading the group in a joyous cheer!

“Thanks to the entire BSC Young Boys support at Celtic Park tonight who gave my wee fella Joshua his very own, unforgettable and special moment,” Kevin writes in a post on social media. “Safe journey home to you all and what a great support.”

But the kindness from the Young Boys’ fans didn’t end with the cheering. After the video ended, Joshua was given his very own YB scarf. How cool is that!?
