There are few instances where a team has managed to score after being reduced to eight players. In August 1991, Dumbarton played Airdrieonians in the Scottish League Cup. Despite three players from each side receiving red cards, Dumbarton valiantly held out and took a 1-0 lead before Airdrie scored two late goals.
In Brazil, Grêmio beat Náutico 1-0 in a promotion playoff match in 2005. With seven players of their own and nine players on the opposing side, future Manchester United star Anderson scored the winning goal in the 61st minute. The match was known as the "Batalha dos Aflitos" due to its chaotic nature.
Talleres from Argentina played Independiente in the final of the 1977 national championship. With three players sent off before and during the game, Grêmio were left with seven players but still managed to hold out until Ricardo Bochini scored a late equalizer for Independiente, who eventually won the title on away goals.
In a friendly tournament between Peñarol and Nacional from Uruguay in April 1987, three Peñarol players were sent off during the second half. Despite being reduced to eight players, they managed to find a winner in the 82nd minute to secure a 1-0 victory.

. Like, how do they even keep up with the game? It's not just about surviving, it's about performing and giving your all to your team. And yet, we see these underdog stories where teams manage to hold out against all odds and score a winner. It's like they're defying the laws of physics or something 
. Anyway, as an activist, I think this highlights the importance of fair play and sportsmanship in our games. We need to make sure that players are treated with respect and care for their own safety, not just so we can see more exciting comebacks 
.
. All that drama and chaos, just to end up losing because of one bad guy scoring a goal 
And can you imagine being that one player who scores the winning goal when your team is down to 7? 
I mean, I'd be so hyped! 
But at the same time, I'm like... how do they even train for this?! 
and yeah it's amazing to see Anderson scoring that winning goal in such a chaotic match 
Grêmio in Brazil was down to 7 but still scored the winner... it's like they were all thinking "screw it, we're gonna win this" 
talleres in Argentina got 3 players sent off but still held on for Independiente to score the equalizer... what a game! 
can u imagine? 
! Like, what's going through their minds? Do they just shut up and play or do they have some sort of secret strategy 
?
.
. What if more people took a stand against inequality just like these teams do in the heat of the moment?
And then there's Grêmio in Brazil, who basically just gave up and let Anderson score a winner with 7 players on their own side? It's like they were all like "meh, might as well"
