The friendly match between Portugal and Chile turned chaotic after a dramatic incident involving forward Rafael Leão. The Portuguese winger was shown a straight red card following a fierce altercation with Chilean defender Iván Román.
The incident unfolded in the first half. After one of the challenges, the AC Milan player stepped in to defend a teammate, sparking a heated scuffle between players from both sides.
After reviewing the footage, the referee decided to send off both players. Red cards were shown to both Rafael Leão and Iván Román—the latter, despite being the victim of the clash, was also punished for his reaction after the incident.
