The rivalry between the Dutch and Portuguese was renewed during an international fixture in Portugal in 2007.

Clearly these two teams did not see eye-to-eye or perhaps the referee was simply not in a great mood...

Sixteen yellow and four red cards were dished out by the man in charge during 90 minutes of heated football.

Portugal went on to win the encounter 2-1.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco led the Portugese to the victory.
