This mass brawl between the players of local rivals Potiguar and Baraunas in the lower leagues of Brazilian football is feisty to say the least.

It all started when the Potiguar player scored a goal and celebrated with a very elaborate taunting of the Baraunas fans behind the goal. This didn’t go down well with the Baraunas players and it just kicked off from there.

Cue a barrage of flying kicks, wild haymakers and general disobedience. Eight players were sent off leaving the match as a seven-a-side.

Misguided passion it may be, but passion nonetheless.
