Brazilian footballers are traditionally known for their skill on the ball, but there wasn’t much on show in the Bahia state championship match between Vitoria and Bahia.<\/p>\n

After a feisty first half featuring six bookings and Denilson’s goal for the hosts, things really got out of hand after the break.<\/p>\n

Bahia were awarded a penalty in the 50th minute, and chaos ensued when Vinicius’ celebrated scoring it by dancing in front of the home supporters.<\/p>\n

Both sets of players piled in, punches were thrown, and – after a delay of 16 minutes to restore order – the referee sent off eight players.<\/p>\n

Three red cards were shown to Vitoria players, and five to Bahia players, with Vinicius and three substitutes among those dismissed.<\/p>\n

The match continued, but when Vitoria had two further players dismissed 11 minutes from time, it was abandoned, with Bahia likely to be awarded a 3-0 victory.<\/p>\n
