23 Red Cards In One Match For This Mass Brawl (2 replies)
Chaos broke out in stoppage time after Atlético keeper Everson kneed Cruzeiro's Christian, leading to a massive brawl involving players, subs, and staff that halted play for over 10 minutes. Referee Matheus Delgado Candançan issued 23 red cards post-match—12 to Cruzeiro and 11 to Atlético—shattering the Brazilian record of 22 from 1954. Hulk apologized but blamed the referee, as Cruzeiro lifted the trophy despite looming suspensions.
