Ananova:

A football match organised to promote non violence among fans in Germany ended in a mass punch-up.

Five fans were arrested at the game which was staged in Aachen as part of a police campaign against hooliganism.

The violence started when five young players attacked a heckler who was kicked and punched to the ground, and then other players and fans waded in.

A police spokesman said: "We had thought this game would show local kids that sport was a meaningful way of spending their spare time."
