RIO DE JANEIRO: Veteran striker Romario scored a hat-trick to help Fluminense thump Guarani 5-2 in the Brazilian championship after the visitors had three players sent off and also argued with police over a refereeing decision on Sunday.
Police came on to the field in the 85th minute to protect the match officials, who were surrounded by furious Guarani players protesting the award of a penalty to Fluminense.
