It looks like an urban warfare, instead it was a football match of the Brazilian Gaucho championship, staged on Sunday 12 February between Gremio and Avenida. Match, for the record, 2-0 for the home team who took advantage of a trick by Luis Suarez to find the advantage. And this behavior of the former striker, among others, from Barcelona to have unleashed a real uproar on the pitch. All happened at the beginning of the second half when the Gremio it still stood 0-0 against Avenida. The opening goal was decided by an episode that saw Suarez as the protagonist.

What did he do? He took advantage of the moment in which several players of theAvenida they were protesting with the referee about the attitude of Pepe, a Gremio player, who had tried to win a foul at the corner flag. A fatal distraction because while everyone was yelling at the referee, Suarez took advantage of it to pass the perfect ball into the area to Cristaldo who he scored. A real trick that sparked a riot on the pitch against the referee, who was forced to retreat in the face of the players’ repeated pushes, even losing his yellow card as he waved the red one in the air. The situation degenerated so much that even the agents in riot gear with helmet, truncheon and plexiglass shield entered the field. The race was interrupted for a few moments. Calm returned, Avenida continued with nine players for the dismissal of Michael and Marcao. With two more men the Gremio then doubled. A victory that came with the clever one by Suarez, who has already scored seven goals in five games with Gremio.
