Read the note from Paraná Clube:

“Paraná Clube goes public to repudiate the regrettable facts that happened this Saturday (5) after the match against Londrina, at CT SM Sports, in Londrina, for the Paranaense Sub-20 Championship.

At the final whistle of the referee and the result of 1×1, there was a beginning of confusion between athletes of the two teams. However, members of Londrina’s coaching staff cowardly attacked some Paraná Clube players, including goalkeeper Bryan, who was even cornered to be hit with punches and kicks.

After that, all entrances to the CT SM Sports field were opened and several unauthorized people who were not on the scoresheet ended up having access to the site. After a few moments, all the athletes were cornered and still under threat from people.

When all players and coaching staff managed to enter the locker room, several explosive devices were thrown and threats were made that the paranista delegation bus would be broken.

Faced with such regrettable facts, Paraná Clube led the injured athletes to carry out a police report, but the Military Police of Londrina did not want to carry out the procedure, indicating that the delegation left the city as soon as possible and carried out the BO Online. We also inform you that the club will file a notice of infringement against Londrina at the Court of Sports Justice (TJD-PR)“;

Read Londrina’s note:

“Londrina Sport Clube goes public to express that it repudiates any and all forms of violence, such as the one that occurred yesterday at the SM Sports CT, in a match valid for the Under-20 State Football Championship, against Paraná Clube.

Unfortunately regrettable scenes were seen yesterday afternoon, and amidst the confusion started by athletes from the opposing team, an athlete from the professional LEC squad – who entered the lawn in order to avoid further confusion – was cowardly attacked by an athlete from the team visitor, behold, he had a serious injury near his right eye, committed by the cleats of the Paraná Clube defender’s boot. The athlete from Londrina EC, Jonas Cabral da Rocha Silva, had to suture his face with seven stitches and spent the night in the hospital.

There is also the unfortunate performance of the match referee (a fact already communicated to the Paraná Football Federation with a request for action), who, with his imprecise and insecure attitude, ended up stirring up tempers on the pitch, since he failed to punish several aggressions and acts of indiscipline by players of the opposing team, including a ball boy from Londrina EC having been cowardly and gratuitously attacked by the opposing goalkeeper, an athlete who would later become the pivot of all the confusion by attacking the coach of Londrina EC .

WE REGRET and REPUDATE what happened and reinforce our fight against any and all forms of violence, a philosophy that integrates the commitment of Gestão do Tubarão, from the professional team to the club’s youth categories, while the club will file measures with the Justice Common and Sports Justice with the scope of holding accountable and punishing offenders.
