Seven red cards, bottles thrown and a mass brawl as football match ends in extreme violence

Violence broke out towards the end of a Welsh third-tier game, with the referee showing red cards to seven players after a 94th minute mass brawl.

Bangor 1876 secured a 2-1 victory over Rhyl 1879 in north Wales, but the scoreline only tells part of the story. One player and one manager had already been dismissed when tempers flared in second-half stoppage time, with reports of punches being thrown and bottles raining onto the pitch from the crowd.

Another five players were red carded for their part in the brawl, bringing the total up to seven. The Football Association of Wales is now set to investigate the incident, which overshadowed Bangor ending Rhyl's unbeaten start to the season.
