A total of 43 players and eight members of the coaching staff were sent off while two Uberlandia board members were also dismissed.

“The club has also not remained silent: The appropriate disciplinary measures regarding those involved have already been taken internally because athletic development is, above all, a matter of personal development,” Uberlandia added.
