Interesting fact.
July 12, 1916 at the Uruguay-Brazil match, a fire broke out in the stands. Spectators fled in panic from the stands, on which the flags fluttered. Spectators took away three flags of the participating countries, but the Brazilian flag remained in place. Then Lagreka, putting on a jacket, climbed the match and took the flag, having received several burns . After Lagreka saved the flag, the Argentine police, where the match was held, wanted to take the flag to herself, but Lagreka did not give it away, for which he was sent to a local prison. However, after the intervention of the Argentinean football chairman, he was released [3] .
