The confusion began on the side of the field, after an argument between players from both teams. During the disagreement, an athlete from the blue team fell to the lawn and was surrounded by opponents until his teammates arrived. The situation seemed under control when a Cruzeiro player stepped on the fallen athlete's leg. Then, another athlete tried to lift him by force, was expelled by the referee and, soon after, lost control and kicked his opponent in the face. He had to be restrained by other people and left the field. According to Miguel's mother, Miriam Cristina, the young man is awaiting transfer to the Campinas State University Hospital (Unicamp), in Campinas. The family said they will file a police report.

The person accused of the attack told Rede Vanguarda that he will only speak out when he hires a lawyer. Until the last update of this report, Cruzeiro had not commented.
