Brazilian fans are very passionate about football. Sometimes that emotion goes too far.
Palmeiras fans were already in a bad mood after losing 2–1 to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final in Abu Dhabi tomorrow. Meanwhile, the news of the death of a supporter of the Brazilian club rushed to the spot.
Many have watched the Club World Cup final in Abu Dhabi on TV or on the big screen in Brazil. One such event was held at the Allianz Park Stadium in Sওo Paulo. It is also the field of Palmeiras. The home matches of the club are held at this ground.
There the fans gathered and watched the final. The tragic incident took place on the road next to Palestra Italia. At the end of the match, the supporters of the club got involved in an argument. One of Palmeiras’ supporters was shot dead at the scene.
Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas shells to disperse the crowd, media reported. Many have also been arrested. Video of the incident has spread on local media and social media.
The 42-year-old supporter was shot in the spine, police said. He was rushed to a hospital but could not be rescued, but police arrested the perpetrator.
Another miscreant was also arrested for trying to drive a motorcycle over police. A supporter with a broken leg was sent to hospital.
S সাo Paulo police investigation officer Caesar Saad told the media that the perpetrator was arrested during the shooting. A total of 15 Palmeiras fans were injured in clashes with police. The first half was goalless in the final held at the Mohammed bin Abu Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Romelu Lukaku scored in the 54th minute to give Chelsea the lead. After 10 minutes, Palmeiras equalized with a goal from Rafael Weiver from the penalty spot. But three minutes before the end of extra time, Chelsea won the Club World Cup for the first time with a goal from Kai Hawartz from the penalty spot.
Hugh Admids, the host of the IPL auction, suddenly made headlines. At one stage of the auction, the British operator fell ill. A sudden break in the auction to give time to his care. And that may have been the ‘loss’ of Wanindu Hasaranga. The Sri Lankan all-rounder could have been the most expensive player to be auctioned today in the way the Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore were pedaling to get him.
Hasaranga, of course, should not regret it. The leg-spinner kept Rs 1 crore as his price in the IPL auction. The price of Hasaranga has gone up to Rs 10 crore 75 lakh from the base price. He was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for 10 times more than the base price.
Hasaranga also played with Kohli in Bangalore last season. No one bought him at auction. But Australian leg-spinner Adam Jampa Corona did not return to play in the IPL after the break and was replaced by Hasaranga in Bangalore. However, he did not get a chance to do much on the field. Played 2 matches. He gave 60 runs in 8 overs. Did not get any wicket. Batting also got a chance only one day, 1 run from 2 balls. Performance is not enough to raise the price of about 11 crore rupees.
That humorous performance was not a ‘wallpaper’, it was a ‘screensaver.’ Before and after such a performance in the IPL, Hasaranga has spread the star for the national team. Has become the highest wicket taker in T20 World Cup. Regardless of the Sri Lankan team’s performance throughout the year, it has risen to the top of the T20 bowlers’ rankings. He has the batting to work with.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has shown interest in getting him in the auction from the very beginning. On the other hand was the Punjab Kings. At the moment the price goes up to 4 crore 20 lakh rupees. After that Tonak moved to Bangalore. They also fell down with the paddle in the auction. Hyderabad gave up at this stage. But Bangalore and Punjab have fought in parallel. The price goes up to 10 crore 75 lakh rupees. Punjab did not seem to give up yet, but then the accident happened. Suddenly, the conductor Admids fell down.
As soon as the auction started again, the tune was cut. Bangalore got Hasaranga with 10 crore 75 lakh rupees. No Sri Lankan has received such a high price in the IPL auction before.
