broken legs

A player called Batagliero who had had his leg broken in Rio a few months earlier was carried around the field on a stretcher to show the audience what had happened to him. When during the match another Argentinian, Salomon, broke his leg in a collusion with Jair, fights broke out and the Brazil defender Zeze Procopio pulled a knife out of his sock. Police entered the field, the Brazilians fled to the dressing room but had to come back to resume play.
