After this, the game continued again, and just like everyone expected, the violence kept going on, even becoming worse than before. In such a big derby like this, sometimes, it only took a single collision to explode everything, turning the game into the worst scenario possible.
Fortunately, the coaches from both teams were still clear-headed. After five minutes of seeing the players scrambling just to get the ball without any chance to advance further, they instructed the boys to calm down for a moment, letting the ball roll further. It wasn't like they showed any mercy toward the opponent, but the game had just begun, and it would only be a waste of their stamina to continue the fight.
So, everything finally got calmer on the pitch, allowing the referee to let out a relieved breath.
'I would never want to officiate this derby again! Not in a fucking million years!' He swore inwardly.
