Sport fans threw stones and bombs as they left the bus, still at Arena Pernambuco. Six Fortaleza EC players were hit and the delegation was taken to the nearest hospital.

In a statement, the CEO of Fortaleza EC, Marcelo Paz, publicly released information about the health status of players injured in the attack. Marcelo Paz also called for punishment for the fans involved in the attack.
“I also think that I should only play again when they punish the criminals who did it. There really has to be a reaction. Not being able to just say a note of rejection, regret or ‘well, one more time…’. No, people! Are you going to wait for someone to die?”, reports Marcelo Paz. See video of the moment:
