The event happened during a match between Vasco da Gama and Botafogo in the top level of Brazilian football.
In the bаttle, two of football’s most famous ruckers went up against each other, and the fans were not let down.
The 36-year-old Chilean international Gary Medel started in defense for the home team Vasco. He spent the 2013–14 season in the Premier League with Cardiff City.
He also helped them get important three points against an old foe; Paulo Henrique’s goal in the 29th minute was the difference.
As Botafogo desperately tried to tie the game, they brought on Costa, 35, a famous former striker for Chelsea, from the bench just before the hour mark.
And the Brazilian international, who played briefly in England’s top league with Wolves last season, got into a figҺt with Medel in just two minutes.
They got into a figҺt over words, which led to Costa crossing paths with Medel.
In response, Medel held his nose and waved his hand in front of his mouth to make it look like his enemy’s breath smelled.
That made Costa very angry, and he got 31 yellow cards and one red card while he was in England before the referee stepped in to cool things down.
He chose to book both the former Atletico Madrid star forward and the former Inter Milan star Medel for acting badly.
But the video quickly went popular on social media.
One fan wrote, “Diego Costa vs. Gary Medel—talk about a heavyweight bаttle.”
Something from Medel was called “absolute” by someone else, and something else said “Things you absolutely love to see.”
