Five red cards in Brazilian 'peace' match

RIO DE JANEIRO: Three players and both coaches were sent off on Sunday in a Brazilian derby which had been preceded by a campaign to promote peace between the rivals' sets of supporters.

Trouble erupted early in the second half of the Juventude-Caxias game in Caxias do Sul when Gilmar Iser, coach of the home team, ran on to the pitch to protest a decision.

Iser was sent off while Caxias coach Argel Fucks was also dismissed after an angry exchange with the fourth official.
