The Battle of Santiago (Italian: Battaglia di Santiago Spanish: Batalla de Santiago) is the name given to a particularly unsavoury 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. The referee was Ken Aston who later went on to invent yellow and red cards.
