However, extra-time saw Vila Operaria snatch victory off Familia Caja and a brawl quickly escalated.

According to local media, Romario was in the middle of the scuffle with the footage posted on social media.

Wearing the No11 shirt, the 53-year-old is seen trying to break up the scuffle.

It is said the feud came about from the over-eager celebrations of the winning side.

Having retired from playing in 2007, it is important Romario keeps his nose clean because he is now a senator in the Brazilian congress.

First elected in 2010, he initially came through with the Brazilian Socialist Party before moving over to Podemos - a centrist group that finished ninth in last year's presidential election.
