An under-20 soccer match in Brazil descended into chaos and the referee was forced to issue an unprecedented 53 red cards after a massive on-field brawl.
The game was stopped for 40 minutes, but was finally resumed and the Mamora team scored another goal in the ninth minute of the break to make it 3-1.
According to the Brazilian media, one of the Mamora players taunted the Oberlandia players while celebrating after the goal, and this led to a massive fight between the members of the two teams and the issuing of a large number of red cards.
🔸 In total, 43 players, eight members of the technical staff and two members of the board of directors of the Overlandia club were dismissed, and the number of dismissals reached 53.
The previous Guinness record for the most reds in a football game was 36 red cards, recorded in February 2011, during a match in Argentina's fifth division between Atlético Claypool and Victoriano Arenas.
