On May 27, 1934, during the derby between CA Peñarol and Nacional Football Club played in the Centenario stadium of Montevideo, one of the most unprecedented cases in Uruguayan soccer took place. Amid an attack by the Peñarol team, Brazilian striker Bahia took a violent shot to the goal of the tricolored Nacional team, which ended up going out by end line. But the ball bounced against the bag of one of the physical trainers, who was watching the play from behind the end line, and returned to the field. Another Peñarol striker, Braulio Castro, took advantage of Nacional’s relaxed defense and sent the ball into the back of the net. The referee Telésforo Rodríguez, who hadn’t noticed the strange situation, validated the goal. Angered by ref’s decision, the eleven National players rushed him and gave him a ferocious beating. Because of this, the derby had to be suspended.
