Players from Brazilian top-flight teams Flamengo and Vasco da Gama were forced to push an ambulance off the pitch mid-match.

In bizarre scenes in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia, the ambulance, carrying injured Vasco player Bruno Silver, failed to start.

Silver, who was knocked out after a collision, got off the ground and to a hospital with the help of his fellow players.

Eight players in total gave the ambulance a push before it managed to start up again.

Play resumed shortly after, with the teams sharing the points in a 1-1 draw.
