The football rivals had rushed to help a fellow teammate who was injured, by pushing the stuck ambulance off the pitch.
The incident occurred Saturday during a top-division match in Brasilia between two rivals from Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo and Vasco de Gama at the Mane Garrincha Stadium.
When Vasco de Gama’s midfielder Bruno Silva had been knocked unconscious in an aerial collision towards the end of the match, an ambulance was called into the pitch.
But the vehicle refused to start and the driver had requested the players to help push the vehicle.
