A Brazilian U20 football match saw over fifty red cards issued by the referee, breaking the Guinness World Record. The match between Uberlândia and Mamoré escalated into a brawl, leading to 51 or 53 red cards being reported by different sources. The previous record was 36 red cards in a 2011 Argentine match. The conflict began shortly before the end of the game, with Mamoré leading 3-1, when a player provoked the opposing bench, resulting in chaos involving players, coaches, and officials. Local police had to intervene as the referee issued red cards to 43 players and eight coaching staff members.
