On June 26, the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup in Group E wrapped up, with the final match featuring Inter taking on River Plate. The South American giants needed a win to advance to the playoff round, and it was clear the players were fired up for the occasion.
Details: At the end of the match, tempers flared between the two full-backs: Denzel Dumfries of Inter and Marcos Acuña of River Plate. Even during the game, there were skirmishes breaking out between the players.
But the real chaos erupted after the final whistle, when both benches and even the stewards had to rush in to separate the clashing sides.
Reminder: After a straight red for Lucas Quarta, River Plate played the last 25 minutes with ten men, and Gonzalo Montiel picked up his second yellow in the 90+5th minute.
