💨 Abstract

A pig's head was thrown onto the pitch during Corinthians vs Palmeiras football match in Brazil, causing a player to nearly injure himself while attempting to kick it away. The incident mirrors a 2002 event in Spain where Barcelona fans threw a pig's head at former player Luis Figo upon his return with rivals Real Madrid. Palmeiras adopted the pig as their mascot following past taunts from rivals.
