A wild brawl broke out during a French soccer match Sunday ... with fans invading the pitch and trading violent blows with players on the field.
The insane scene all went down toward the end of the Nice vs. Marseille tilt in France ... when Marseille forward Dimitri Paye was hit by a bottle that was thrown from the stands.
