Safety for players and referees in Latin American football matches is a growing concern, and a shocking incident unfolded during a Peru Cup game.
Details: During the match between Sport Huaquilla and Magdalena CEDEC, a fan stormed the field in an attempt to attack the referee, who was about to show a red card to a player. In a swift reaction, the referee struck back, delivering a powerful kung-fu style kick to the fan’s chest, knocking him down.
The situation quickly escalated into a full-blown brawl on the pitch.
Reminder: Today, Mauro Icardi’s girlfriend posted a cryptic photo on social media.
