The video showed two teams, dressed in blue and the other in red and blue. No. 9 from the blue team tackled the player from the opposition in the start of the video and in retaliation, the other player tried to punch him. The burst of anger and attempt to punch was clearly down to the flaring tempers on the field and he did not waste a second to give it back. No.9 did not back down either and tried to defend himself during the attack.
Unhappy with the retaliation, No.2 from the red and blue team kicked No.9 in the stomach and he fell to the ground. It is at this moment that the small fight between two players escalated into all-out brawl between almost every member of the two teams. No.2 of the red and blue was caught unaware as a player from the opposition went ‘kung-fu’ and delivered a flying kick for the ages, completing his revenge and settling the score.
What followed after were ugly and disturbing scenes as players from both teams tried to control the tempers of a few players. Multiple referees rushed onto the ground and match officials and dignitaries too were forced to interfere and douse the fire.
