However, once the match ended, while the players greeted each other and the local public celebrated, a supporter managed to enter the playing field and, without a word, directly attacked Petrella. The blow was overwhelming and the assistant fell to the ground in the face of general surprise, in a scene that quickly went viral
.After the attack, Petrella was taken to a hospital, where he was under observation. Regatas repudiated what happened and highlighted their member with a statement.
