Peñarol versus la policía brasileña – 1993

While Nacional were getting their first taste of a 14-year-old kid named Ronaldo Luiz Nazario da Lima, Peñarol were enthralled in their own Brazilian battle both literally and figuratively. The images a the return of the first stage of 1993 now extinct Super Cup, which was the equivalent of the old Cup Winners Cup in Europe. The match being played in Porto Alegre. The Carboneros won the first match in Montevideo 1-0 courtesy of a Darío Silva goal.

This match would have made the Argentina-Uruguay match this past weekend look like Pelé playing Maradona. The comparisons were various like Greco-Roman wrestling or a match being played in the common yard at Alcatraz. There were lots of curiosities to start. Gremio´s stadium was under a domestic match-ban the Colombian referee was under a ban domestically as well.

Gremio were able to come back and turn around the result with goals by Charles and Gilson that put the Gaúchos into the second round and would be eliminated by eventual champ Sao Paulo. Whlie Gremio players left the pitch triumphant, Peñarol players confronted the referee at the end of the end of the match for not giving enough injury as the game was filled with stoppages, fouls, and everything else in between. This would be proceded by the the Brazilian military police stepping. After that you can see what happened.
