In a moment of pure euphoria, CRB players celebrated a goal so enthusiastically that some of them tried to escape the referee’s punishment by hiding behind advertising boards in the stadium. The scene, which seems to be taken from a comedy film, ended up being recorded and shared on social media.
Two players from the Brazilian team CRB, who ran onto the pitch with the entire bench at the end of a second league match to celebrate a goal, hid from the referee to prevent him from giving them a yellow card.

The invasion of the pitch during the celebration was considered an infraction and, despite trying to avoid it, the players ended up receiving a yellow card. In total, 12 CRB players were warned by referee Wagner do Nascimento Magalhães. The attempt to escape punishment did not work and the players ended up identified and punished.
