The Battle of Santiago is the name given to a particularly unsavoury and infamous football match during the 1962 World Cup Finals. It was a game played between hosts Chile and Italy on June 2, 1962 in Santiago
The first foul occurred within 12 seconds of the kick-off. Italy's Giorgio Ferrini was sent off in the twelfth minute after a foul on Honorino Landa, but refused to leave the pitch and had to be dragged off by policemen. Landa retaliated with another foul few minutes later, but he was not sent off.
English referee Ken Aston overlooked a punch by Chilean Leonel Sanchez to Italian Mario David. When David kicked Sanchez few minutes later, he was sent off.
A later scuffle in the match In the violence that continued, Sanchez then broke Humberto Maschio's nose with a left hook by accident. The two teams engaged in scuffles and spitting, and police had to intervene three more times.
Chile won the match 2-0 (74' Ramírez; 88' Toro), eleven men against nine.
