One of Brazil’s most famous football clubs has won South America’s top club tournament. Brazilian club Sao Paolo won final of Copa Sudamericana. However, there are big questions about how they got their victory. They were declared winners after other team, Tigre from Argentina, refused to come onto pitch for second half of game. The players and coaches from Argentine club said they feared for their lives. Tigre officials said security guards at Sao Paolo’s Morumbi stadium beat them and pulled guns on them as they went to dressing room after first half. whole footballing world is now concerned about safety and security at FIFA World Cup in 2014.

Sao Paolo were winning the game two-nil before referee called game off. Sao Paulo president Juvenal Juvencio told club's website that Tigre were afraid of losing badly so they started causing trouble in half-time break. He said: "They were going to lose by big score. Our biggest victory is fact that Argentines ran away." Sao Paulo goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni said of Tigre: "They came here to fight, not to play." Tigre's players totally disagreed. They said about 20 police and security staff waited for them and attacked them. Argentina’s newspapers were full of photographs of dressing room covered in blood. Tigre coach Nestor Gorosito told Argentine television: "It was crazy."
