The highly anticipated SAFF Championship 2023 game between India and Pakistan concluded as a one-sided affair, featuring a flurry of goals and controversy. During the match, tensions escalated, and just before halftime, the head coach of the Indian national football team, Igor Stimac, and players from the Pakistani football team had to be separated due to heightened emotions.

India and Pakistan players get involved in a brawl

In the crucial moments before halftime, a throw-in was awarded to Pakistan, which displeased the head coach of the Indian team. In a turn of events, Abdullah Iqbal, a 20-year-old defender from Pakistan playing in Denmark, moved forward to collect the ball for the throw-in.

However, Indian defender Pritam Kotal, seeking to gain an advantage, tried to obstruct Iqbal. Simultaneously, Igor Stimac confronted the opposition player and forcefully knocked the ball out of Iqbal’s grasp, prompting the match referee to intervene and restore order. This incident escalated the tension and heightened emotions between the two teams, adding a layer of controversy to the already intense atmosphere of the match.

The ramifications of the unfortunate episode resulted in yellow cards being shown to Sandesh Jhingan and Rahis Nabi, signifying their involvement in the altercation. Additionally, Igor Stimac, the Indian national team’s head coach, was ejected from the match due to his actions. In the midst of the argument, Marcelo Schroeder Costa, the goalkeeping coach for the Pakistan men’s team, engaged in a forceful head collision with a member of the Indian coaching staff. The incident has sparked intense online discussions and debates regarding the sportsmanship of those involved.

Despite the controversies, the Indian players kept their cool and registered a swift 4-0 victory. Sunil Chhetri, leading the charge for Team India, showcased their favouritism in the exhilarating India-Pakistan encounter, as they found the back of the net twice in the opening half and notched a total of four goals during the game. The team finished the match with 7 out of 23 on-target shots and 70% possession. Chhetri completed his hat-trick by the 74th minute of the match, adding to his first-half brace to move to the 90s in the international goal tally.
