The only two black coaches in Brazil's top tier of 20 teams joined forces Saturday night to protest racism in soccer.

Marcao's Fluminense beat Roger Machado's Bahia 2-0 at the Maracana stadium but the result took second place to the identical jerseys worn by the coaches throughout the game in support of an anti-racism campaign.

"My position as a black man in soccer's elite confirms ," the 44-year-old Machado said. "The biggest prejudice I face is not the insults. I feel there is racism when I go into a restaurant and I am the only black man. I was the only black in my class in college. That is proof for me." Fluminense's coach called his meeting with Machado a landmark and focused on the situation in Brazilian soccer management.
