Story summary

On November 4, 2026, an under-20 soccer match between Uberlandia and Mamore in Brazil set a world record with 53 red cards, surpassing the previous mark of 36. The brawl started when Mamore's Davi taunted Uberlandia’s bench after scoring his team's third goal, leading to mass confrontations involving players and coaching staff. Referee Fernando Patrick Drosghic Modesto paused the game for about 40 minutes before abandoning it due to extensive damage at the Parque do Sabia Stadium. As a result of the incident, Uberlandia withdrew from the competition, allowing Mamore to advance to the final despite having only seven available players.
