Scandal in the Sudamericana: kick sparks brawl and two reds in Chile | OneFootball

The Copa Sudamericana clash between O’Higgins and Boston River ended in a scandal that overshadowed the Chilean side’s 2-0 win. In the 68th minute, Uruguayan player Leandro Suhr produced the image of the night when he landed a brutal kick to an opponent’s chest, triggering a massive brawl between players from both teams right on the field.

The violence of the incident sparked a full-scale melee. As a result, Suhr was shown a straight red card immediately. However, Boston River’s disciplinary meltdown did not end there: near the end of the match, Jairo O’Neil was also sent off, leaving his team down to nine men on a night to forget in Rancagua.

With this result, the sporting outlook for the Uruguayan side is critical. After three group-stage matches, Boston River is still without a win and on the verge of elimination. The defeat and the scandal at El Teniente Stadium have seriously damaged their international hopes in 2026.
