This is the moment an U10s football match descended into chaos with video showing parents stormed the pitch to brawl with each other.
Footage from a spectator showed a “bust up between lads” on the field before horrified spectators can then be heard telling their kids to get back as the fight travels across the pitch, The Sun reports.
In the since deleted video, originally posted to X, one player is seen getting up from the floor, before a member of the opposing team backhands him in the chest.
The ref pulls the injured boy, who’s wearing a dark green football kit, away from the instigator, who’s in red.
But before he can diffuse the situation — which unfolded in Ditton, Aylesford, Kent — another boy from the green team storms over to defend his mate, punching the instigator in the head.
You can watch the incident in the video player above.
The three continue to scuffle until a crowd of dads storm onto the pitch, with one grabbing hold of the boy in red.
Meanwhile, another dad, wearing a cream hoodie and gilet, appears to run directly at a third man, wearing black trackies with white stripes and a black jacket.
He tramples the boy in green in the process, who is seen lying on the ground.
A concerned woman lifts the boy to his feet - by which point a huge crowd has formed around the two brawling adults.
The group travels across the pitch — as the man in the gilet continuously tries to reach his rival.
Scared children can be heard screaming in the background.
At one point, a man in jeans shoves another, wearing grey shorts, away from the crowd.
This sends him into a headfirst dive out of camera shot.
He then quickly scrambles to hit feet to see watch as the fight progresses.
By this point, the skirmish has reached as far as the red team’s subs bench - as the bewildered boys get to their feet.
The fight then seems to continue, blocked by an ever-growing crowd of spectators.
As the shouting continues, one woman can be heard telling nearby children to “go over there”.
The boy adds: “Stop being a d******d.”
It comes as after video footage emerged of another scrap, which broke out on an easyJet flight last year - after a passenger dropped his crisps on the floor.
This sent another flyer into a rage, as he manoeuvred the man into a headlock and repeatedly slapped him in the face.
An eyewitness told the Sun: “It all got a bit gobby, and the younger lads threw some insults.
“Then the bigger guy just had enough. The fight happened over mess and personal space… then turned into a full on headlock.”
