One of Brazil's biggest derby matches was cancelled shortly before kick-off on Saturday, after players from Gremio were hurt when fans attacked their team coach on the way to a game against city rivals Internacional.

The match between the two main clubs in Porto Alegre is known as the Grenal but Gremio withdrew from the match at Inter's Beira-Rio stadium after rocks smashing through coach windows hurt players.
