The chilling video was uploaded on X (formerly Twitter) with a caption reading: 'Derry youngfellas making absolute mugs of the hipster Bohs fans from Dublin.'
Masked yobs, wearing hoodies and tracksuits, can be seen waving golf clubs on one side of a metal fence.
Meanwhile, a hooded figure can be seen holding some kind of firework which he uses to launch streams of explosive rockets through the fence.
Running to escape the fizzing rockets, the men on the other side of the fence scatter as red and green sparks fly through the air.
As one figure on the other side of the fence approaches the man with the rockets, the fireworks begin to hit the fence - showering everyone in red-hot, colourful embers.
Then, a terrified girl can be seen running past at the bottom of the screen as she calls out: 'Daddy!'
An unidentified man can be heard telling her: 'You're alright, you're alright, you're alright.'
Veiled in smoke from the fireworks, the group with the golf clubs becomes almost invisible while the rival gang picks up huge heavy objects to hurl at the armed group.
More hooded yobs can then be seen running past the girl and the unidentified man, as the terrifying fight continues.
The Sun has approached the Police Service for Northern Ireland, Bohemians FC and Derry City FC for comment.
