With the increasing tension, the worst tangan of all took place at the last minute with the party already sentenced, when Sophie Cunninghamof the Faver, decided to take revenge with the quarrelsome Jacy Sheldon with a tough foul that led to Melé between both teams. The altercation ended with expulsion from Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay Allen, Of the Sun, who went quickly for the Faver player leaving in defense of his partner.
