Flamengo came back from 2-0 down to grab a point against Sport, but their injury-time equaliser sparked accusations of poor sportsmanship.
The equalising goal, scored by Éverton in the sixth minute of injury-time, came after Flamengo had refused to return the ball to Sport, who had kicked it out of play when one of their players went down injured. Flamengo players claimed their opponents were wasting time but Sport’s Diego Souza, who scored his side’s opener, was furious after the final whistle. He said: “Where’s the fair play? We got punished. Well done Flamengo.”
