An Argentine football club has accused Brazilian security officials of beating and pulling guns on its players during the half-time interval of a cup final.
The Argentines said they were attacked by about 20 men following scuffles involving players and officials as the teams left the pitch at half time.
"They ambushed us and one of them pulled out a revolver and put it against [goalkeeper] Damian Albil's chest. Their security and police also hit us, there were about 20 of them."
Argentine media carried photographs of a blood-stained dressing room and comments from players saying they had been hit with sticks.
"They were going to lose by a big score," Sao Paulo president Juvenal Juvencio told the club's website. "Our biggest victory is the fact that the Argentines ran away."
I can't believe the club president would issue a statement like that
