Head coach of Indian men`s football team Igor Stimac capped off a wild evening of SAFF Championship football when he was sent off with a red card following a brutal altercation with the Pakistan players on Wednesday.
Stimac was handed the red card just before half-time as he attempted to snatch the ball from a Pakistan player to prevent him from taking a throw in. As a consequence, players from both sides broke into fight as the Pakistan players continued to accuse Team India coach of manhandling their player. However, the timely intervention from the referee, linesman and the support staff put things in order. With the red card, Stimac will not be allowed on the sidelines for the ongoing match.
