A Brazilian derby between Vitoria and Bahia was forced to be abandoned after the home side were reduced to six men in a match marred by a glut of red cards and an ugly melee.

Seven reds were shown to on-field players – five from hosts Vitoria and two from Bahia – after a mass brawl broke out in the Bahia state championship clash at Estadio Manoel Barradas in Salvador on Sunday.
