This was the first time in three seasons sets of supporters from both teams were
allowed to attend the match. But it was on the pitch not in the stands that the match
would descend into chaos.
Four minutes into the second half a converted penalty by Bahia’s Vinicius led to
a ‘crude’ celebration in front of the opponent’s supporters, something Vitoria
goalkeeper Fernando Miguel didn’t take too kindly to. And after confronting Vinicius
he was backed up in violent ways by his team-mates who unloaded punches on their
opponents.
The furore was brought under control after 16 minutes when the referee dismissed a
total of eight players; five from Bahia and three from Vitoria.
Incredibly, the match went on but it would not last the full 90 minutes as on the verge
of the 80th minute as two more players were shown red cards, reducing Vitoria to six
players and leading to the match being abandoned.

see Jamie Vardy and another Non-League angle taken by a sportswriter who is
tapping what’s left of an empty keg.
