Brazilian soccer fans start fight and destroy stadium in South American Cup final

By
Last Wednesday (13), soccer fans of Flamengo promoted lamentable scenes of violence and vandalism. Police clashed with supporters inside and outside the Maracanã stadium, local of the World Cup final. After the game with Independiente, the Brazilian team saw the title of the South American Cup, stay with the argentine team.

The confusion started even before the game, when Flamengo fans attacked an Argentine elderly with punches at the stadium door. They threw objects and even a cone on the bus that brought the Independiente's players. The situation worsened when soccer fans without tickets tried to invade the stadium, forcing the gates. The police reacted.

Members of an organized crowd arrived in great numbers and tried to enter Maracanã stadium. Municipal guards made a barrier and scattered the group with tear gas bombs.

The moods calmed down at the time of the game. But as soon as the match was over, police officers used the force to stop a fight in the Independiente's crowd inside the stadium. At another point of the grandstands, a group of people threw a garbage can and bottles at police officers who isolated one of the access ways to Maracanã. The police reacted with pepper sprays, rubber bullets and bombs with moral effect.

From the outside, there had more confusion. The riot resumed when a supporter was hit on Radial Oeste Avenue, near the ramp that connects the stadium to the subway. The driver even got out of the car to try to talk, asked for calm, but the group around began to kick the car. The driver got back into the car and was lynched. The Military Police appeared shortly thereafter. The police used gas bombs and rubber bullets. 


Over the ramp, women and children were trying to protect themselves. An entire family had to be hidden. And they shouted, "There is a child here" to avoid confusion. An elderly man and a couple of Argentine tourists fell and needed help getting up.

At first the police thought it was an isolated case, but in the same month other women began to have the same behavior. Many people believe it's a form of protest, others believe that they just want media attention or have a mental disorder. This habit began in Porto Alegre and was extending into other cities of the state, arriving in the city of Novo Hamburgo. There were 7 cases of flagrant nudity and in these two cities these women were seen in various locations: squares, avenues, condominiums, parks and even in supermarkets.
