  "account": "A soccer match between Uberlândia and Mamoré in Brazil's Minas Gerais Under-20 Championship semifinal set a new world record for the most red cards issued in a single game. The incident occurred on Sunday when a brawl erupted, sparking the dismissal of 40 players and eight staff members. Three Uberlândia players and two board members were also shown red cards, bringing the total to 53. The Estádio Parque do Sabiá suffered damage, prompting the intervention of military police. Uberlândia subsequently withdrew from the competition, giving Mamoré an advantage to proceed to the final. This record surpasses the previous high of 36 red cards in an Argentinian fifth-division match held in 2011.",
