🎥 Brasileirão match sees punches thrown in ugly scenes, watch | OneFootball

Maracanã was the stage for “regrettable scenes” in the final stretch of Fluminense versus Red Bull Bragantino this Friday (17), in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. 

Massa Bruta were leading (1-0) and the clock had already reached the 47th minute of the second half — with another seven minutes of stoppage time still to come. 

The clash ended with two red cards and three yellows before Tricolor escaped defeat at the Maracanã. 

A 'normal' foul turns into a brawl 😨

An attempt to push forward in attack ended with Cannobio fouling Lucas Barbosa.

Eager to see his rival take the free kick as quickly as possible, the Tricolor forward grabbed the ball, and the opponent did not like it.

That was the start of the trouble. 

What followed was a series of shoves.

And the emergence of the “main characters” John Kennedy and Fabinho.

The Massa Bruta midfielder had come onto the pitch just two minutes earlier and had already had a disagreement with Hulk

JK and Fabinho exchanged punches while being pulled apart and then “came back” for more fighting.

Both were eventually sent off by referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda from Espírito Santo.

The yellow cards went to Fluminense’s Ignácio and Freytes. And to Mosquera, for Massa Bruta. 

The nine minutes of added time became fourteen thanks to the extra five that were added on.

Tricolor’s pressure against a rival already playing with one man less continued — Sant'Anna had been sent off in the 17th minute of the second half for an elbow.

And the search for an equalizer resulted in Ignácio’s goal in the 58th minute.
