DTotD: Brazilian manager chokes referee and linesman hit by stone during cup final

On Saturday, Internacional played So Defende in the final of the Copa Sul dos Campees, an amateur competition held in the city of Cricima.

After Internacional took the lead, things turned controversial when a So player was given a red card for apparently punching an opponent. In his wisdom, referee Edsio Weber also decided to send off the Inter player who had been punched to the ground, sparking an outraged reaction from his teammates. This climaxed when the Internacional coach took to the field to choke the bewildered ref, in the fashion of Homer Simpson administering punishment to his son...

The match somehow continued, as did unnecessary abuse of the officials: a linesman was struck with a stone by a fan, and was unhelpfully sprayed with drink as he lay on the ground.

According to our video-foraging friends at 101GG, local police received no complaints of violence at the game. Which sounds about right.
