The madness unfolded during the second overtime of the close match ... when LSU's Maya Gordon and Ole Miss' Ramsey Davis were trying to gain possession of the ball ... and Gordon took issue with Davis grabbing her by the waist in defense.
That's when fists started to fly -- Gordon and Davis threw a series of punches at one another, with some shots appearing to connect with their intended target.

Boys will be boys!
I love that one! 👍
You’ll be happy to know that the feeling is mutual.
I’m so pissed about OU going to the SEC.
I hate every team in the SEC.

Now you can OU to your hate list.... have a good’en
WOW! A soccer game morphed into a hockey match. That female in blue was seriously PO’ed.
Who gives a crap, one way or the other?

Apparently, ImJustAnotherOkie gives a crap, one way or the other. I was simply joining in on all of the fun! ;-)
Sports violence has become the selling point of most leagues now. It started in the pro’s years ago but has leaked down to national federation level to include high schools and grammar schools.
Very few contests historically started in their history with this level of violence, hockey and boxing being a couple. But with rule changes, and the transition to education at lower levels with the win at all cost attitude, sports has turned into something far uglier than it started. And it is now all for the worth, and not the competition. So sportsmanship is a myth.
Some sports have failed due to their lack of violence. Women’s pro basketball is one that has failed many times until they could get some goons in that could dunk and hit hard enough to emit the gasp from the crowd. And the most violent of our sports, football, tried to reel in some of it, but except for the most dangerous of fouls, head to head and crack back (cut) blocks, contact is not only ignored by the game but encouraged by the how much can I get away with thought process. And it’s encouraged all the way to grammar schools teams. The pit area, that space 3 yards on either side of the line of scrimmage, is a gang fight, not line play.
And if you can get on the playing surface of most sports, you can see how the games have been shaped to sell. They used to fill the Colosseum years ago. Nothing has changed except our acceptance and the overseeing of our kids body damage.

Don’t want to play in the old Penal Colony
I am the only person that has gotten a Gordie Howe Hat Trick...in a soccer game.
The fight was probably infinitely more interesting than anything happening during the actual game.
That’s a truthful and sad commentary on women’s soccer in general. It wasn’t even that great of a fight. I was expecting a full-team on full-team brawl.
Love World Cup!
Gonna have to look up schedule as I believe it starts this month.
LSU & Ole Miss really don’t like each other! Goes back to the Billy Cannon punt return in 1959. Status quo.
How could you hate the Commodores?
