Sparks flew at the Maracaná. In Rio de Janeiro, during the duel between Fluminense y Colo Colo for the second date of the Libertadores Cupa duel took place between two heavyweights: Arturo Vidal and Marcelo. The Chilean, former Flamengo, and the Brazilian said everything to each other on the playing field.

The fight between the winger and the midfielder occurred 60 minutes into the match, with the match already 2-1 in favor of Flu (it ended with that result). And although the game was already getting spicy, the crossing It was generated by a divided ball that both went to dispute and that Marcelo won.

Vidal did not like that the former Real Madrid raised his leg so much, in a dangerous play. That’s why he went looking for it… The Brazilian, who had taken the ball in that dispute with King Arthur, touched a teammate and immediately He received an unfair blow from the midfielder, which hit him when the defender did not see it.

And the action didn’t end there. Non-compliant, andThe Chilean rebuked his rival, while the playing field was lying, recovering from the blow. In the midst of insults, the Brazilian got up and put a cold shoulder to the matter: he put a finger to his temple, asking the driver to think.

At the time of the collision, Vidal already had a yellow card (he had been cautioned before ten minutes of play), however the judge – who did not see the entire foul or the fight – decided not to give any card.

The two veterans had several duels throughout their careers, both in Brazil, in Europe and with the national teams. And the balance is largely favorable to the left back: of the 12 times they faced each other, he won seven (including this Tuesday), tied three and lost just two.
