A fanatical supporter of Coritiba, fighter Wanderlei Silva ended up getting excited when he saw his team beating Athletico-PR in a classic disputed by the Brazilian Serie A Championship, last Sunday, the 14th. Thus, he made “several bets with friends”.
Coxa, however, ended up taking the turnaround goal scored by Willian Bigode in the game’s stoppage time. The match ended with the score of 3 to 2 for Hurricane and the fighter failing in his bets. On Monday, the 15th, he turned to Coxa fans to help pay off his debts.
