OMG! The game was a well played game taking out the fights and all. But The Argentinians came out on top on penalties after sao paulo won 2-0 on regular time. The start of the battle in the Morumbi Stadium was marked by Diego Tardelli and some River Plate defender who didn't let Diego get the ball from the net after sao paulo scored its first goal. The other battle was after the final whistle after a Sao Paulo player (that's what I hear, but as I wathed the game I thought it was a River Plate player who started) charged a River Plate player (?). With that Luis Fabiano, Jackie Chan II, came out of no were and did a flying scissor kick on the back of the River Plate player from there the benchs and all got up and ran to join the fight. Though out the game 6 players were given a red card. Even though everything that happened sao paulo played a nice game overall, but I do have to say that River Plate's defence was awsome in the first half and that sao paulo defence sucked arse. Sao Paulo's second goal was a beaty from Diego Tardelli, this kid is like 18-years-old, who played better than Luis Fabiano who was very well marked.

it seems like fabiano is a kung fu expert:confused:

The guy thinks he is Jackie Chan. Looks like the Psycological sessions that sao paulo has been paying for aren't working.

man, unfortunately I didn't catch the game, I don't know if FSE will show the fight after the game again.....I hope so. I guess it was worse than the América(Cali)/River fight huh?

wait i dont get it, if sao paolo won 2-0 in regular time, why did they go to pk's?

It was 2 legs I guess.

I taped it so I'll watch it later. :D

River won 3-1 at Argentina
Sao Paulo won 2-0 in Brazil
In South America competition there is no away goal rule.
But Sao Paulo could've sealed the game in normal time just like river could've gotten some away goals.

if anyone has a vid of it they can send me, Kulixs@hotmail.com pls!

south american soccer fights rule :rockman:

I think River will win the copa sudamericana, too bad Sao Paulo lost, I was rooting for them :(

I watched highlights and the fight on FSW Report, Luis Fabiano must really know how to do karate ... plus I can't believe a player kicked anotehr player hard in the ribs and then he ran like a sissy :funny: Those were some awesome scoccer scenes :rockman::p
