23 Red Cards and Police Intervention as Mass Brawl Mars End of Title Match in Brazil
The brawl erupted after Atlético goalkeeper Everson's violent reaction to a late tackle by Cruzeiro's Christian, causing 23 red cards and military police intervention, officials said.
- On Sunday during the Campeonato Mineiro final at the Mineirão stadium, a mass brawl ended the match amid violence and police intervention, with 23 players shown red cards as Cruzeiro won 1-0.
- Atlético Mineiro goalkeeper Everson reacted to a late challenge by rugby-tackling Cruzeiro midfielder Christian in stoppage time, prompting Christian's teammates to confront Everson and both benches to pour onto the pitch.
- Referee Matheus Delgado required a police escort after issuing 23 red cards retrospectively, with eight minutes of stoppage before the final whistle, as reported by officials.
- Atlético posted that 'its athletes do not condone any form of violence,' Hulk wrote 'We need to acknowledge our mistakes and learn from them,' and Kaio Jorge said 'Of course we didn't want the match to end like that,' after the melee on Sunday.
- Both clubs face added pressure, as they remain winless after four Serie A games, with Hulk blaming the referee for not sending players off earlier amid security concerns.
