Corinthians beat Palmeiras 2-0 on Monday evening at the NeoQuimica Arena in Sao Paulo, but the big talking point was the incident in the 39th minute when the score was still 0-0.
The pig라이브 바카라 head was thrown onto the field as Palmeiras was preparing to take a corner and Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto ran over to kick it away.
“I almost broke my foot. I thought it was a cushion, something like that,” Alberto told journalists after the match. “I tried to kick it hard, but it was a pig라이브 바카라 head, I almost injured my foot.”
Investigator César Saad told journalists that the pig라이브 바카라 head was brought to the stadium hours before the match. Two men have been questioned about the incident and police were still looking for a third, who was sitting next to them during the game.
Local fans have insulted Palmeiras supporters as pigs since 1969, when a car crash killed two Corinthians players during the season and Palmeiras was the only club that wouldn’t agree to the team라이브 바카라 request to sign two new players.
Palmeiras later adopted the pig as its mascot.
The incident was reminiscent of what happened in Spain in 2002 when Barcelona fans threw a pig라이브 바카라 head onto the field during a “clasico” game when the team라이브 바카라 former striker Luis Figo returned to the Camp Nou Stadium as a Real Madrid player.
