In 1992 the grill of the bleachers broke with which several flamengo fans fall into the chairs. The accident victimized 3 people and left 82 wounded. José Roberto Wright, a game referee, decided for the completion of the match, as he feared more tumult with the 130,000 spectators present if there was a cancellation. The match, final of the Brasileirão, finished 2 x 2 and confirmed the title of Black Rubro.
