(Reuters) - Vasco da Gama and Corinthians have both been ordered to play their next four home matches without their own supporters following crowd trouble at their Brazilian championship match last month.

Brazil's sporting tribunal said that both teams must play their next two home games behind closed doors. For the subsequent two home games, they will only be allowed to sell tickets to supporters of the visiting team.
