🤯 Copa do Brasil match erupts into brawl during penalty shootout 🎥 | OneFootball

Was this just another episode of the famous "pure juice of Brazilian football"?

Confiança surprised everyone by eliminating Vila Nova from the Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (18).

After a goalless draw in regular time, the Dragão do Bairro Industrial knocked out the Tigre in a penalty shootout, winning 5-3 right at the Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga stadium.

The "highlight" was the brawl that broke out after the fourth penalty kick by the Sergipe team in Goiânia.

Which resulted in four expulsions.

Vila's elimination led to the dismissal of then-coach Umberto Louzer as a consequence.

Was that necessary?

Confiança was already ahead after Higor missed for Vila.

Then Maikon Aquino stepped up, made it 4-2, and celebrated by signaling for silence to the home fans from Goiás.

That was the "trigger" for the start of the commotion.

Check out what happened below.

Matheus Emiliano (Confiança's reserve goalkeeper), Ariel Mamede (Vila's assistant coach), Eduardo Moura (Confiança's defender), and Dellatorre (Vila's forward) were the ones sent off.

The rest of the shootout saw Emerson Urso score for the Tigre and Renilson seal the 5-3 victory.

The qualification earned Confiança another R$ 2 million, adding to the R$ 2.7 million they had already pocketed.

Runners-up in the Sergipano last Saturday (14), the Dragão still have the Copa do Nordeste and the Série C of the Brazilian Championship ahead.

As for Vila – who stopped at the semifinals of the Goiano – they will compete in the Copa Verde and Série B.

And are now searching for a new coach.
