Running street clashes have erupted in Brussels between rival fans from Belgium and Italy after the two sides met in the Euro 2000 football match on Tuesday night.

Police initially stood by as gangs of youths from both nations converged on the Bourse - Belgian's stock exchange - after the game in which Italy triumphed - throwing chairs and bottles at each other.

But after 40 minutes the police moved in to break up the skirmishes.

Italy won the game 2-0, scoring a goal in each half of the match.
