  "account": "A high-profile under-20s soccer match in Brazil set a world record after a violent brawl erupted during a match between Uberlândia and Mamoré in the Minas Gerais Under-20 Championship semifinal. The incident occurred on Sunday when a Mamoré player taunted the opposition bench following his team's 3-1 lead, triggering a mass brawl. According to the BBC, the brawl led to 40 players and eight staff members being dismissed from the game. ESPN reported that three players from Uberlândia and two from their board received red cards, bringing the total to 53 red cards, surpassing the previous record of 36 set in an Argentinian fifth-division game in 2011. The damage to the Estádio Parque do Sabiá prompted the intervention of military police, and Uberlândia withdrew from the competition as a gesture of fair play, allowing Mamoré to advance to the final.",
