A terrible episode of violence occurred in Brazil last weekend. During the match between Sport Recife and Vasco da Gamavisiting players had to quickly leave the field of play after an invasion of local fans after that ranielfootballer from Hill Giant, scored a penalty and celebrated provocatively in front of the Lion.
Vasco’s players passed the advertising panels and went to celebrate under the Recife fans, who did not like this gesture at all: they immediately ran to the field and responded with violence, throwing stones and other objects at them.
Vasco’s players had to run to the locker room while Sport Recife’s players stayed for a few minutes until referee Raphael Claus announced that the match would not continue.
Tremendous scenes followed and one of the most talked about in the following hours was that of a Sport Recife fan who kicked a firefighter who was already on the ground after the clashes.
The two teams played each other: Recife fights for fourth place in the tournament, which leads to promotion to Série B while he has a few more points Vasco has amassed a few more, but he’s still not sure he’s going up. Nobody thought about the results and ranking after what happened and after the videos about the violence that were released in the following hours.
It was not the only episode of violence this Sunday in Brazil: Ceará-Cuiabá was also suspended due to the invasion of local fans.
After the deplorable scenes seen in the match between Sport and Vasco, the Pernambuco Court of Justice (TJPE) reported that nine people were arrested during the clashes.
