Corinthians beat Palmeiras 2-0 on Monday evening at the NeoQuimica Arena in Sao Paulo, but the big talking point was the incident in the 39th minute when the score was still 0-0.
The pig바카라s head was thrown onto the field as Palmeiras was preparing to take a corner and Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto ran over to kick it away.
바카라I almost broke my foot. I thought it was a cushion, something like that,바카라 Alberto told journalists after the match. 바카라I tried to kick it hard, but it was a pig바카라s head, I almost injured my foot.바카라
Investigator César Saad told journalists that the pig바카라s head was brought to the stadium hours before the match. Two men have been questioned about the incident and police were still looking for a third, who was sitting next to them during the game.
Local fans have insulted Palmeiras supporters as pigs since 1969, when a car crash killed two Corinthians players during the season and Palmeiras was the only club that wouldn바카라t agree to the team바카라s request to sign two new players.
Palmeiras later adopted the pig as its mascot.
The incident was reminiscent of what happened in Spain in 2002 when Barcelona fans threw a pig바카라s head onto the field during a 바카라clasico바카라 game when the team바카라s former striker Luis Figo returned to the Camp Nou Stadium as a Real Madrid player.
