PLAYERS PUSH-START AMBULANCE
Players from Flamengo and Vasco da Gama came to the rescue of an ambulance on Saturday after the vehicle, which was transporting an injured player to hospital, refused to start. Vasco's Bruno Silva needed medical attention after being knocked out in the second half but after being loaded into the ambulance the vehicle was unable to leave the pitch. With both sets of fans in the 54,000 crowd at Brasilia's Mane Garrincha stadium howling in derision, players from both sides had to push-start the ambulance to bring it back to life. "That's a first," Flamengo defender Rever told Sportv. "What a lamentable scene. I thought the driver was kidding but he said he had turned the engine off and asked for our help. We managed to push it a little bit and it kick started."
