The match between Flamengo and Botafogo, on Wednesday (15), was lively both on and off the field. In the second half, the red-and-black substitutes stood up to watch and laugh at a fight that broke out among Botafogo fans in the stands at Nilton Santos Stadium.
Watch the video:
The reason for the fight is unknown, but in the footage, you can see members of the Military Police preventing the brawl from continuing. While the police intervened, forward Samuel Lino was laughing and full-back Ayrton Lucas scratched his chin, as if analyzing a UFC fight.
Besides them, João Victor, Matías Viña, Varela, Juninho, Arrascaeta, Cebolinha and Matheus Cunha also stood up to watch the regrettable scenes. The fight in the stands did not cause the match to be stopped.
While Botafogo fans were simulating a UFC fight among themselves, Flamengo was already winning 2-0 on the field. Pedro and Luiz Araújo scored the goals, and Gonzalo Plata sealed the 3-0 result in the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
Hoping for a friendlier atmosphere in the stands, Flamengo begins preparations to face Palmeiras. The decisive match will take place at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 29th round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match between Flamengo and Palmeiras.
