Eusébio, Ceará, Brazil. A women’s futsal match, the score 1-0, and suddenly everything comes to a halt. 😔
Ana Julia Alencar falls to the ground after a sliding tackle. There, defenseless, she receives two kicks to the head from Lara do Nascimento Costa. When another teammate tries to stop the assault, she also ends up being struck in the face. The match is immediately suspended, and Ana Julia needs emergency medical care: she is placed in intensive care.
The Eusébio Sports League did not remain silent. It applied the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice and suspended Lara for five years, while her team, As Resenhas, was directly expelled from the municipal championship. A punishment that many already describe as unprecedented in women’s futsal. Enough, or should it have been for life? 🟥
