The origin of the brawl between Universitario and Corinthians

The fight began after Ryan Gustavo scored the goal that put Corinthians ahead, at minute 90+2. It was his first as much of him as a professional.

Ryan Gustavo took off his shirt and tossed it up in the air to celebrate the goal. When Roldán was going to admonish him, several Universitario players, including Di Benedetto, attacked the Brazilian.

The Police entered the field to try to separate them and the visiting players had to take refuge in the substitute bench, because the local fans began to throw objects onto the field.

After waiting more than 10 minutes and reviewing the VAR images, Roldán decided to send off the five players and resume the match.
