Juan Belencoso’s headbutt on Leo Costa sparked ugly scenes at the end of the game. Belencoso was incensed by Sena Ralte’s awful tackle from behind in the last act of the game. In retaliation, Costa’s fellow Brazilians, Cafu and especially Thiago Cunha conjured up the ugliest scenes may be seen in ISL history.

Cafu had a verbal altercation with Belencoso and Borja before Cunha’s antics began. He slapped Belencoso, he unleashed a kung-fu kick on Lalrindika Ralte and gave Pritam Kotal a bloody eye with another slap across his face.

It will be interesting to see whether there is any action taken against Cunha by his own club, assuming that it is a certainty that the ISL will act against him for his unbelievably embarrassing actions.
