A soccer game between two top clubs in Mexico City was suspended after the referee ejected all 22 players following a brawl.
The game between first division clubs America and Guadalajara was being played before a crowd of 100,000 in Azteca Stadium, site of the World Cup final.
America led, 1-0, with 19 minutes left when a brawl was triggered by a fight between Fernando Quirarte of Guadalajara and Carlos Hermosillo of America.
Referee Antonio Marquez, officiating his last match after a long career, ejected all the players.
The Mexican Football Federation will decide the penalty for each player and determine if the game will be resumed.
