Major scuffle breaks out between players of India and Pakistan during SAFF match
A highly intense SAFF Cup 2023 encounter between the national football teams of India and Pakistan took a tumultuous turn on Wednesday as a major scuffle broke out just before the half-time whistle in Bengaluru.
The incident unfolded as India swiftly secured a 2-0 lead within the first 16 minutes, courtesy of an impressive brace by their captain, Sunil Chhetri.
Tensions escalated between the players when India's coach, Igor Stimac, struck the ball with his right hand, impeding a Pakistan player's attempt to take a throw-in. This action ignited a heated argument between members of both teams, which quickly escalated into a physical altercation.
Referees promptly intervened to separate the players on the field, restoring order and allowing the match to resume.
As a consequence of his involvement, Stimac was shown a red card by the officials, signaling his expulsion from the match. Additionally, Pakistan's coach received a yellow card for his role in the on-field altercation.
