India’s coach gets red card after fiery brawl with Pakistan players

Live Mint  

India's brilliant 4-0 rout of Pakistan in the SAFF Championship on Wednesday had a slight jarring note to it as head coach Igor Stimac had to vacate the dugout after receiving a red card. As the scuffle was brought under control referee Chhetri showed red card to Stimac, as per the football rules, for interrupting with the actions of an opposition player deliberately. Meanwhile, Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri scored a hat-trick in his team's triumph in their SAFF Championship campaign opener against Pakistan and became the fourth-highest goal-scorer in international football history. Argentina FIFA World Cup-winning legend Lionel Messi, Iran's retired player Ali Daei and legendary Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo are above Chhetri in the goal-scoring list.
