Brazil calls for a strong hand after a rebound in violence

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) expressed its anger at the violent episodes that took place on Sunday in two stadiums in the country, with attacks and invasions of the field by fans.

The governing body of Brazilian soccer said in a note that it expects the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) to “act with the necessary severity to punish those responsible for the shocking scenes” experienced in the first and second divisions .

The events took place in Ceará-Cuibá, in the first division, and Sport Recife-Vasco da Gama, in the second.

Both matches ended 1-1 and had to be postponed before the full discount was reached after serious incidents were reported in the stands which were later moved to the pitch.

In Fortaleza, the clashes forced some Ceará fans to flee to the Arena Castelao turf with their small children in their arms, according to images released on television.

Later, another group of ultras also arrived on the field and surrounded some of the Ceará soccer players, who ran towards the locker room tunnel.

In Recife, Sport fans also attacked Ilha do Retiro from different points and even attacked some Vasco players and workers who were in the stadium.

“A firefighter and a firefighter working near a gate continued to be attacked even though the woman was lying on the ground,” said the referee’s report, which ordered an early end to the match due to the “absolutely impossible environment for in football practice.”.

And the Goiás-Corinthians are not disputed

The CBF also regretted the suspension of Goiás-Corinthian, which was scheduled to be played on Sunday, but in the end did not even start “to avoid conflicts between fans” of both clubs.

The president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, said in the note that they were “outraged” by the images seen in the two matches of the first and second divisions of the Brazilian Championship.

“We hope that the STJD takes a difficult position. We put ourselves in the place of the parents of the child who passed out in Fortaleza. We hope that the court imposes a severe penalty. Brazilian soccer no longer has room for to violence and retreats,” the leader said.
