The spectacular loss of Brazil on Tuesday in its semifinals match against Germany in the World Cup had put Brazil in a state of shock that a Copacabana viewing party was attacked by a group of young men who conducted a mass robbery.
According to BBC, hundreds of fans had fled in a panic, which were all caught on video reportedly due to the mass robbery. Police on the other hand, claimed that scores of fans had scattered when a fight among fans had occurred on the famous tourist beach spot, which no doubt would be from the tragic results of the decisive match between the host nation and the Oranje.

Deep into the evening, there were several isolated incidents occured in several Brazilian cities, which include looting at an electronics store and setting fire to a bus station, Buzzfeed reported. Citing local news agency Infobae America, some of the attacks, especially the ones on the buses, may have been carried out in continues protest about public transportation issues in the country.

MundialTVMax tweeted a photo of police in anti-riot gear stationed in areas at the Copacabana beach, which appeared to have been called in by authorities to take back control of the area. Moreover, photo evidence from a Twitter user verified reports that dozens of heavily-armed guards were placed in Mineirao stadium following the Brazil-Germany match on Tuesday to ensure safety, the viral news site said.

Although no arrests has been made so far regarding the incidents, the extra security were installed to curb future violence due to civil unrest that had gripped Brazil ahead of the World Cup. On the other hand, the tournament itself has been deemed to be relatively trouble-free apart from the few minor incidents, the International Business Times reported. The country was split about views on hosting the celebrated sporting event, considering the huge amount of money the Brazilian government had spent on accommodating to FIFA venue regulations when the country has yet to address public issues like security, health and public sector wages.
