Shocking footage has captured the moment a youth football match descended into total chaos when a furious coach tackled an opponent and lashed out at a woman.

The chaotic melee took place over the weekend during a matchup between youth teams from Carlynton and Keystone Oaks in the Pittsburgh area, leaving the third and fourth grade players watching in disbelief.

Video captured by a parent showed the Carlynton coach yelling and throwing his arms out before going face-to-face with a man from the Keystone Oaks sideline.

The confrontation quickly turned physical when the Carlynton coach chest-bumped the opponent, who pushed him back.

As an official threw a penalty flag and tried to steer the young players away from the commotion, several more adults rushed onto the field.

A woman approached the Carlynton coach and told him to leave, but the coach smacked her arm away before charging forward and tackling another man to the ground.

The tackled man could be seen throwing punches from the turf before breaking free as other adults piled on to restrain the Carlynton coach.

The 24-year-old Carlynton coach spoke to KDKA-TV following the brawl, claiming he lost his composure after several of his young players came to him in tears alleging they were targeted with racial slurs by opponents.

He stated that he repeatedly urged the game referee to address the slurs before his anger boiled over.

Both coaches have been suspended indefinitely by the Steel City Youth Football League while administrators review video footage, referee game logs and witness statements.

The incident comes just days after an similar, unsavory scenes unfolded in Racine, Wisconsin, when a father supporting the Milwaukee Colts intervened in their game against the Case Eagles.

The Eagles player, wearing No. 88, ran to his left and looked set to cross into the end zone until the father strolled onto the field and wiped him out.

Both the parent and child fell to the floor due to the force of their collision, with the child seemingly landing on his head.

Mount Pleasant Police said the man, 41, had become 'upset over a play.'

He quickly fled the field but officers later stopped him not far from Case High School. They said he was 'cooperative, admitted to the act and acknowledged he was wrong.'
