Rio – A widespread brawl shocked residents of the Flamengo and Botafogo neighborhoods, in the South Zone of Rio, on Wednesday night (23). Flamengo and Botafogo fans clashed on the streets of the neighborhoods, in a confrontation that left at least five men injured, including one shot. The confusion happened moments after the classic at the Nilton Santos stadium, in the North Zone of Rio.
