Interesting game

[Geoff Parkstone]

Cruzeiro v Athletico Mineiros. Ref issued 23 red cards after mass fight broke our. Certain folk reckon it was started by right wing....

Beats previous record of 22 send off in 1954

I saw just the incident that started all this last night. Funny thing is, the forward chasing the ball appeared to try to avoid making contact with the keeper who then assaulted him. Of course I don't know the wider context

What's the rule on sending offs? Isn't it something like 3 from one side then game abandoned?

4 red cards, the game goes on. 5 red cards, it's abandoned and the side down to 6 players loses the game 3-0.

What if its 5 nil at the time?

Its happened a few times in Scotland,I'm aware of one game where 4 were sent off in a game against Rangers, can't recall the team but I was told about it bya family member who was there, likewise Rangers themselves had 4 sent off in a fairly recent old firm game, again attended by a family member, a Rangers fan

Edit it was four sent off between the two 'teams'
