The final of the Paraná Cup, an amateur championship promoted by the Paraná Football Federation (FPF), played between Capão Raso and Trieste, Saturday afternoon (13), at the José Carlos de Oliveira Sobrinho stadium, in Curitiba, was interrupted by an invasion of supporters and a general brawl, which ended with two injured players. After the episode, Trieste Futebol Clube and the FPF spoke about what happened.
During the confusion, striker Bill, formerly of Coritiba, and defender Jair, who played for Trieste, were attacked. Both required medical attention and were taken to hospital. The match was interrupted by the referee due to the lack of minimum safety conditions for the remainder.
HEAVEN BROTHER
Bill – former Botafogo, Coxa, Santos and Ceará striker – beat in the Paraná Cup final and is UNCONSCIOUS.
The players started fighting and not only did a nasty fight break out, but they also opened the door to the fans.

The situation has gotten completely out of control, leading to attacks and endangering the physical integrity of athletes, which is absolutely unacceptable in any sporting environment.

The Paraná Football Federation regrets what happened during the match between Capão Raso and Trieste, in the final of the 60th Paraná Cup. The match was interrupted after a widespread brawl, followed by fans invading the pitch during the penalty shootout.
