If the India vs Pakistan SAFF Championship football match made headlines days before it was scheduled to be played due to visa issues for the travelling Pakistan team, it made bigger headlines a day after the game thanks to some very good football played by the Indian team as well as an ugly fracas that saw players and coaches get involved and ended with a straight red card for Indian coach, Igor Stimac.
HOW THE BRAWL STARTED
Late into the first half cameras picked up the Indian coach, Simac knocking the ball out of Pakistan defender Abdullah Iqbal's hands as the player attempted to take a quick throw-in. This of course angered the Pakistan players as they rushed towards Stimac, gesturing angrily. One of the players, Rahis Nabi, who plays for English club Redditch United, had a heated exchange with Stimac. The referees got into the thick of things, while Indian players rushed towards the melee as well.
