Bayern Munich and Union Berlin’s Bundesliga encounter descended into chaos on Wednesday after visiting boss Nenad Bjelica pushed Leroy Sane in the face, sparking a brawl between the two benches at pitchside.

With over 15 minutes left to play and Bayern in the lead, Sane and Bjelica came face to face by the side of the pitch at the Allianz Arena as the Bayern winger looked to retrieve the ball for a throw-in before the Croatian boss pulled the ball away from him.

The moment saw former Man City winger Sane swipe his hand at the ball leading to the pair to square up to one another.

Then, in a moment of madness, the Union Berlin head coach inexplicably pushed Sane twice in the face, sparking a brawl pitchside between the two benches.

Eric Dier, who made his Bayern debut from the bench in the second half, was seen trying to keep the peace as both sets of players tried to break up Sane and Bjelica. 

The resulting melee gave referee Frank Willenborg no other option than to send the Croatian manager off for violent conduct, while Sane received a yellow for his role in the incident.
