A youth match in Brazil ended with a world record 53 red cards after a mass brawl broke out in a Minas Gerais state championship under-20 semifinal.
Uberlandia lost 1-3 to Mamore, and the fight started after the third goal, involving players and club officials, before the referee sent off 53 people.
Why it matters: the record is less about the football than about how quickly a local youth game can become a global clip, and why referees reach for the book when a match stops being a match.
