[OFF THE POST] Brazilian clubs Juventude and Caxias promoted their clash as a "peace match" and held a pregame "Fraternity Breakfast" that included fan club leaders, police officials and club presidents to discourage violence between supporters of the rival teams. The breakfast went fine, but the game featured five ejections.
The Juventude coach was ejected for running on the field to protest a call. Caxias' coach was sent away for berating the fourth official.
Juventude's Alex Morais and goalkeeper Renan were red-carded in a melee, and Caxias's Mika was ejected for kicking an opponent.
