The benches cleared for a mid-game brawl and the match ended in a penalty shootout.
It was a heated Brazilian derby with a long history, dating back to the 1950s — São Paolo FC vs. Corinthians. Brazil’s club season hasn’t yet started but the two sides met in front of local fans Jan. 21 for the 2017 Florida Cup final at UCF.
São Paolo won 4-3 in penalties and the whole team rushed the field to celebrate in front of an announced crowd of 7,500 people watching.
The Florida Cup has grown larger in each of its three years of existence.
