A youth soccer match in Brazil descended into chaos when a mass brawl erupted, resulting in a world-record 53 red cards being issued by the referee.
The incident occurred during a Brazilian Football Confederation-sanctioned game. According to the match official, a member of the team staff threatened to "kill" him during the melee.
The unprecedented number of dismissals surpasses any previous record for red cards in a single football match at any level.
