Soccer-Pig's head thrown on pitch during Brazilian derby
A pig's head was thrown onto the pitch during Corinthians' 2-0 win over arch-rivals Palmeiras in the Brazilian championship, with a player nearly injuring himself when kicking it away. The incident echoed a 2002 episode in Spain when Barcelona fans threw a pig's head onto the pitch in disgust at former favourite Luis Figo's return with rivals Real Madrid.
