This Brazilian soccer fight started with a red card, ended with riot police protecting the refs

A relatively routine red card sparked a huge brawl in the Brazilian third division when Beck Ferreira attacked the referee that showed him the card -- then went after anyone in the vicinity.

The clash came in the Brazilian third-division final between Boa Esporte and Guarani. At the time Boa had a 2-0 lead, and were completely outplaying Guarani — which led to emotions being at their boiling point. Ferreira hip checked an opposing player, causing him to collapse to the ground. Whether it deserved a red card or not is questionable, but the reaction was something else.

It started with Ferreira shoving the ref to the ground.

Then he began fighting with his own teammates who tried to calm him down.

It took multiple members of Guarani to try and hold him back.

Riot police were brought onto the field to protect the referees.

Just an absolutely unbelievable scene. It took close to two minutes before Ferreira finally calmed down enough to be reasoned with -- and even then he was mad. He was finally escorted off the field and there has been no announcement of what punishment the player could be facing.
