The Battle of Santiago (Italian: Battaglia di Santiago, Spanish: Batalla de Santiago) is the name given to a particularly unsavory and infamous football match during the 1962 FIFA World Cup. It was a game played between host Chile and Italy on 2 June 1962 in Santiago, Chile. The Referee was Ken Aston who later went on to invent Yellow and Red Cards. |

1962 FIFA World Cup Chile - First Round - Venue / Stadium - Santiago De Chile / Nacional Referee - Ken Aston (ENG) Assistant Referee's: Henderson (UNK), Hanger (UNK) The Italians' reputation for Machiavellian tactics became legendary in the wake of the..."Battle of Santiago," against Chile. One of the most violent games in World Cup history, this was more martial arts demonstration than soccer match. The action was so shocking that the BBC saw fit to preface a broadcast of the game film with the following warning: "Good evening. The game you are about to see is the most stupid, appalling, disgusting and disgraceful exhibition of football, possibly in the history of the game." It took just 12 seconds for the first foul to be inflicted and 12 minutes for the first player to be sent off, Italian midfielder Giorgio Ferrini, who refused to leave the field and had to be forcibly removed by police. After attempting to officiate the 90-minute riot, Referee - Ken Aston was inspired to invent yellow and red cards in the wake, admitting... "I wasn't reffing a football match, I was acting as an umpire in military maneuvers." |
