Surreal images.

We head to Brazil, where the final of the Minas Gerais State Championship between Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro descended into chaos with only a few seconds left to play.

With his team trailing 1-0 in stoppage time, the Atlético Mineiro goalkeeper was violently struck by Christian, Cruzeiro’s winger.

The goalkeeper then lost his cool and lunged at his opponent, who was still on the ground. This sparked a mass brawl that lasted for several minutes, despite the intervention of security staff and military police.

It’s worth noting that Brazilian star Hulk was involved in the fight, both receiving and throwing punches.

To top it all off, although he hadn’t handed out a single red card during an extremely tense match, the referee reported 23 expulsions in his match report: 11 Cruzeiro players, including Hulk, were sent off, compared to 12 from Atlético Mineiro.

Despite everything, Cruzeiro eventually lifted the trophy after a night of chaos that is sure to be talked about in Brazil for a long time to come.
