• Four players were detained after game in São Paulo
• Match was called off after apparent monkey gesture

A Brazilian judge has ordered the release from prison of four players from River Plate’s women’s football team, all of whom were arrested over alleged racial slur during a match against Grêmio.

Judge Fernando Oliveira Camargo decided to free the Argentinian club’s quartet of Candela Díaz, Camila Duarte, Juana Cángaro and Milagros Díaz, on condition they remain in Brazil and show up at court in São Paulo every month until the case is concluded.
