Bolivia's president Evo Morales clearly left his Fifa rulebook at home when he kneed an opposition player in the groin during a "friendly" match.
Mr Morales, wearing the No 10 shirt, retaliated after a scything tackle by Daniel Cartagena in the capital La Paz.
The match, between the president's Movement Towards Socialism team and the city mayor's Movement Without Fear, ended 4-4 with four players sent off, including Mr Cartagena.
Police tried to arrest him after the game but stood down when the mayor intervened.
