A Minas Gerais under-20 semifinal between Uberlandia and Mamore in Brazil ended with a world-record <strong>53 red cards<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cmy0rz7741ywo\">BBC Sport<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>The tally: <strong>43<\/strong> players, <strong>eight<\/strong> coaching staff, and <strong>two<\/strong> Uberlandia board members sent off. The old record was <strong>36<\/strong>, set in a 2011 Argentine fifth-division match, according to BBC Sport and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/sports\/2026\/11\/5\/guinness-world-record-broken-as-53-red-cards-shown-in-brazil-under-20-match\">Reuters via Al Jazeera<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The fuse was lit when Mamore went 3-1 up and a player taunted the Uberlandia bench, BBC Sport reported. &#8220;In the 54th minute of the second half, a generalised brawl broke out, making it impossible to show the red cards and to carry out the match-closing protocol,&#8221; referee Fernando Patrick Drosghic Modesto wrote. He declared the match over.<\/p>\n<p>Police were called, and their report listed <strong>14<\/strong> broken doors, wrecked showers, smashed windows, and destroyed benches and chairs. Uberlandia has conceded the second leg because Mamore only has seven players available, calling it &#8220;a gesture of fair play.&#8221; Mamore goes to the final.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image: AI-generated editorial illustration by Bugle Blast.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cmy0rz7741ywo\">BBC Sport<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2026\/nov\/05\/record-53-red-cards-brazil-referee\">The Guardian<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/sports\/2026\/11\/5\/guinness-world-record-broken-as-53-red-cards-shown-in-brazil-under-20-match\">Al Jazeera\/Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Brazilian under-20 semifinal brawl shattered the world record, and one team was left with only seven players<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":893,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/bb-53-red-cards-1105.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
