Four River Plate players arrested for alleged racial slur in Brazil

Four players from Argentina's River Plate women's team were arrested in Sao Paulo for allegedly making a racial slur during a Brazil Ladies Cup semifinal. The incident occurred after player Candela Díaz was accused of making monkey gestures towards a ball boy. The match was halted after the incident, leading to a brawl that resulted in six River Plate players receiving red cards. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, but Grêmio was awarded the win and will advance to the final. River Plate has been banned from the tournament for two years. Tournament organizers stated they will impose immediate bans on teams involved in racist behavior in the future. Grêmio expressed support for its players and condemned the incident.
