Luis wastes no time winning silverware with Flamengo as final marred by post-match fighting

Flamengo won their first silverware under new boss Vitor Pereira as they beat Independiente del Valle 1-0 in the Recopa Sudamericana.

Gabriel Barbosa scored the only goal of the game in the second half to give Flamengo the victory.

The match was marred by post-match fighting between players from both teams.

The trouble started when Independiente del Valle players were unhappy with a challenge by Flamengo defender David Luiz.

Players from both sides then became involved in a pushing and shoving match.

Former Arsenal defender David Luiz was at the heart of the post-match fracas.

The Brazilian was involved in an altercation with several Independiente del Valle players as tempers flared following Flamengo's victory.

Luiz was seen pushing and shoving opposition players before being separated by teammates and staff.

The incident is likely to be investigated by CONMEBOL, the South American football governing body.

CONMEBOL has a strict policy on violence and could impose sanctions on the clubs and players involved.

The incident overshadowed Flamengo's victory, which was their first under new boss Vitor Pereira.

The Portuguese coach has only been in charge of Flamengo for a few weeks, but he has already made an impact.

Flamengo are now unbeaten in their last five matches and are top of the Brazilian Serie A table.

They will be hoping to continue their good form when they face Al Hilal in the Club World Cup semi-final on Tuesday.
