Bolivian Meeting Turns into “Wrestling Ring” with 7 Players Receiving Red Cards.

A match in the Bolivian League between Blooming and Bolivar witnessed unfortunate riots, which prompted police intervention. The mass brawl resulted in the expulsion of 7 players and the end of the match with only 15 players. These events have sparked widespread reactions in the Bolivian sports community.

A match in the “Bolivian League” between the teams “Blooming” and “Bolivar” witnessed widespread chaos, prompting immediate intervention from security forces, who were forced to use tear gas to control the deteriorating situation following a mass brawl between players on the field.

Five players were sent off at the end of the first half as a result of their direct involvement in this unfortunate brawl. In the second half, the referee sent off two more players, bringing the total number of players sent off to seven. Eight other players were also cautioned with yellow cards, resulting in the match ending with only fifteen players on the field.

The roots of this crisis go back to the final minutes of the first half, specifically six minutes before the end, when the goalkeeper of the “Blooming” team, “Braulio Uraezaña”, rushed to strongly protest against “Damián Batallini” after he collided with him while trying to reach the ball. This protest ignited widespread clashes between the two teams’ players, which extended to include the players’ dressing rooms, in a very regrettable scene that sparked widespread resentment in Bolivian sports circles.
