Sport v Corinthians ends in chaos between players, two sent off | OneFootball

On Sunday afternoon, during the 24th round of the Brasileirão, Corinthians visited Sport at Ilha do Retiro and were defeated 1-0. Shortly before the final whistle, players from both teams got involved in an altercation that resulted in two yellow cards and two expulsions.

The incident occurred at the 48th minute of the second half, right after a brief stoppage due to the use of flares by the Corinthians fans. While retrieving the ball out of bounds for a quick throw-in, defender Matheus Bidu collided with Sport’s forward Derick Lacerda.

The two pushed each other, and the situation escalated when other players got involved. After the scuffle was brought under control, Bidu and Lacerda received yellow cards, and a member from each coaching staff was sent off.

With the defeat, Corinthians remain at 29 points, in 10th place, and lost their five-game unbeaten streak (four wins and one draw). A victory would have matched the team’s longest unbeaten run under Dorival Júnior.

Sport, on the other hand, now have 14 points and remain at the bottom of the table, in 20th place. The win marked only the second victory for Daniel Paulista’s team in 22 matches and the first at home. Leão da Ilha had not won in four games (two losses and two draws).
