Yahoo News Brazilian clubs put rivalry aside to push broken ambulance off the pitch
Brazilian teams Flamengo and Vasco da Gama put their differences aside to join forces and help an injured player when the ambulance he was in broke down on the pitch.
Vasco’s Bruno Silva was knocked out in the second half and was helped into an ambulance on the pitch. However what had been a worrying scene soon became a farce, as the vehicle was unable to leave when its engine failed to start.
