Match report notes six red cards after brawl in Coritiba v Goiás | OneFootball

The clash this Friday between Coritiba and Goiás, the leader and runner-up of Série B respectively, was marked by confusion. A disagreement after the final whistle resulted in six expulsions in total, with three red cards for each team.

The fight began as soon as referee Alex Gomes Stefano signaled the end of the match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. The players started a scuffle near the exit to the locker rooms, which involved shoving and attempted assaults.

According to the match report, four players were punished with a straight red card for “punching” their opponents: Anselmo Ramon, Marcão, and Benitez from Goiás, and Pedro Rangel from Coritiba.

In addition, Clayson and Filipe Machado, both from Coritiba, were sent off after a VAR review, also for aggression.

During the match, the referee had already shown a red card to Sebastián Gómez, who had scored what would have been the winning goal for Coritiba in stoppage time. However, the goal was ultimately disallowed.

Coritiba remains at the top of Série B with 47 points, holding a two-point lead over Goiás, who have reached 45.
