A record 53 red cards were issued during a chaotic under-20s football match in Brazil between Uberlandia and Mamore. The incident occurred during the first leg of the Minas Gerais Under-20 Championship semi-final, leading to 43 players and eight coaching staff members being sent off. Additionally, two Uberlandia board members were dismissed, bringing the total to 53. The previous record of 36 red cards was set in a 2011 fifth-division match in Argentina. The match was abandoned after a brawl broke out in the second half, with the referee unable to restore order. Uberlandia later forfeited the second leg of the semi-final as Mamore did not have enough players to field a team, allowing Mamore to progress to the final.
