Brazil’s Operaio player Jefferson Reis repeatedly punched a ballboy who celebrated an opposition goal, footage shows.

That sparked a huge fight between the Reis' side and Comercial in a match played last Sunday.

The victim of the attack is believed to be a youth player for Comercial.

But despite being on the end of the vicious attack, the youngster will still have been celebrating after his team held on to win the Campeonato Sul-Mato-Grossense encounter 1-0.
