Footballers in Brazil were attacked by a swarm of bees (VIDEO) © EuroFootball.com

On Sunday, the match of the Brazilian amateur championship was not interrupted by raging hooligans, as usual, but by ... bees.

During the match between the "Corumbaense" and "Itapora" clubs, players and referees started lying down on the grass one after another, as a swarm of bees flew into the stadium.

Since no small insects are visible in the video footage, the sudden and unusual behavior of the players more resembles actions during a terrorist attack.

In recent months, bees have been interrupting matches in other countries such as Panama.
