The post-match brawl lasted at least four minutes. The incident is under investigation, police say, and will include poring over witness video.
Club Garrafones, an undefeated soccer team from South Los Angeles, arrived in Irvine on Saturday ready to play. The opposing team, Irvine Zeta FC II, was younger and lower ranked but managed to pull an upset. A red card gave Zeta a penalty kick in the second half, and they scored, ultimately winning 2 to 1. After the game ended, a back-and-forth between opposing players turned into a dispute, an outright fight and, eventually, a brawl. Players pushed one another.
Instead of walking away, the Zetas player 'went and tried to attack the player that fouled him,' Navarro said. Another Garrafones player tried to intervene and break up the scuffle, only to get hit from behind. 'That's how it started. That was the first brawl — but it wasn't recorded,' Evelyn said. Navarro was more blunt: The Zetas 'were whooping our a—' before the camera started rolling.
