Two sets of rival football fans had to be separated by security guards after tempers flared in a Thai league match.

The Ayutthaya United fans became frustrated at the ref's apparent bias for the home team Bangkok FC who had led the score 2-0 in the second-tier game.

The chaos struck began when the away team fans saw the substitute of Bangkok FC kick the ball away from an Ayutthaya United player who was trying to catch the ball from the sideline.

They began madly shouting and swearing for more than 10 minutes before security guards and the match announcer arrived at the scene to bring the situation under control.

The game continued and the home team eventually won, with the score finishing 2-1.

Thatikorn Kraikruan, the Bangkok FC director, understood the audiences' frustration that caused the quarrel.

He said: ''This was an intense game for both parties since it was the final match, so I completely understood why the Ayutthaya United fans were upset. However, I would like to show my support and encouragement towards the team for upcoming games in the future.''

The footage was captured last year on September 22, 2018.
