The referee showed a record 53 red cards in one football match

The match took place on November 1 in Uberlândia. According to CNN Brasil, a mass brawl began after the third goal by Mamoré. The scorer, Davi, celebrated with provocative gestures towards the opponents and insulted players from the other team. According to the referee's report, the mass brawl occurred in the 54th minute of the second half. The referee decided to stop the match due to safety risks. Participants in the brawl were hitting each other with their hands and feet, as well as throwing various objects at the players and coaches. As a result, the referee showed red cards to 24 representatives of Uberlândia and 29 from Mamoré. The dismissals included not only players on the field but also substitutes, coaching staff members, and club managers. The match became a record for the number of red cards in the history of football. The previous record was set on February 27, 2011, in a fifth division match of the Argentine championship between Claypole and Victoriano Arenas. At that time, the referee sent off 36 participants in the match.
