Err, is that more of a Muay Thai technique? Anyway, Argentinos Juniors and Fluminense played in Copa Libertadores last night, at the same time as a game between Nacional and Club America. Due to the 0-0 result in that game, the tiebreakers dictated that, if Fluminense won by two goals or more, they advanced to the next round of the competition. If they won by one goal, Nacional advanced. If the game was a draw or Argentinos won, Argentinos went through.
VIDEO: Awesome Football Fight, Complete With Karate Kicks!
In the 88th minute, the referee granted a controversial penalty after a clear dive by Fluminense’s Edinho. Fluminense were leading 3-2 at the time, and after star striker Fred converted the penalty, Fluminense had the two goal lead they needed to go through to the next round. Despite the fact that, if the result remained 3-2, Argentinos would not have gone to the next round of the competition, they felt the need to start a fight. You can find the video, complete with karate kicks, after the jump.
Honestly, one of the best soccer brawls I’ve ever seen between two full professional teams. We’ve seen some hilarious videos from amateur and semi-pro level games, but as far as the highest levels of football go, this brawl takes the cake.
