"The match is suspended. No championship is worth a life," the club wrote on Twitter. "I reiterate our wish for improvement to referee Rodrigo Crivellaro. NOTHING, kids, NOTHING justifies aggression. "We'll see what happens next, whether the match will be closed or rescheduled. "The intern stays around here, sad, embarrassed and p***** off like all of you with this cowardice that happened today in Venancio Aires. "We are rooting for the match referee's recovery."
Thankfully, Crivellaro was deemed well enough to be released from hospital the next morning. Ribeiro, meanwhile, has been charged with attempted murder, with local police investigator Vinicius Assuno telling journalists that a judge will decide if Ribeiro should remain in custody during the investigation or be released on bail.
"His attack was very strong and violent, kicking the referee in the head and making him pass out," Assuno told the press. "The referee had no chance of defending himself."
It has since been confirmed that the game will be resumed next Tuesday.
