Ambulance breaks down in the middle of the pitch as players join hands to push it

In yesterday's fixture between Vasco da Gama and Flamengo, the most perfect example of Brazilian football's ridiculousness occurred, as an ambulance broke down in the middle of the pitch.


The ambulance had come on to the field to escort an injured player, but could not make its way off as the engine began to fail.


But that wasn't going to prevent the players from finishing their match, with everything still to play for. The players helped get the vehicle going again, by coming together to give it a push, helping it on its way.
