Disturbing images from Brazil during a scheduled game between Vasco da Gama and Atlético Paranaense with fans fighting across the Joinville Arena. Riot police broke up the fighting shortly after the kickoff.

Three fans were reportedly taken to the hospital in serious condition. There are also reports one fan dead as a result.

The two sets of fans weren't separated inside the stadium and security appears to have been initially handled by a private company, rather than the police.

Eventually a military helicopter landed on the field to transport one of the injured fans.

Remarkably, the game restarted with Atletico PR leading 1-0 .

Can't wait for the W.C

And to think this happened only a few months after that brazilian referee was murdered and quartered by fans...
