A clay football pitch in the Brazilian municipality of Montes Carlos has experienced a terrifying episode in the last few hours. In the middle of an amateur league football match, an argument about a possible penalty kick stopped the match completely. Both teams crowded for minutes around the referee who, in a shocking moment of madness, picked up a knife given to him by a member of the crowd and tried to stab one of the players.
According to local media, it was his son who provided him with the blade intended for cutting food. Fortunately, the referee failed to make a clean cut and the footballer managed to escape, unsurprisingly in total shock.
In the end, the authorities were able to arrest the referee and the injured player was taken to hospital .

I thought such clay soil pitches are found only in Africa not in so called developed countries like Brazil [Crylaugh]. Officiating football in such areas, you must be knowing kungfu, boxing, wrestling and athletic[Crylaugh]
