The place is Chile, where a ref attempts to serve a red card on a player in some lower division professional match. What follows is great theater, and chock full of hilarity for several reasons. One: The player grabs the ref by the arm, and the ref responds by punching the player in the mouth. But the best part of that is the ref obviously doesn’t hit him very hard, but the player goes down like he was flattened by a falling safe. Yes, soccer players even dive when being hit by the ref. Then, all of the player’s teammates begin chasing the ref around the field, and can’t catch him. That’s freaking embarrassing.

Here’s some Benny Hill music to enjoy during the chase.
