Explained in plain English

What is a 'scuffle'?

A 'scuffle' in football refers to a minor fight or disorderly pushing and shoving between players, often involving multiple individuals. While not as serious as a full-blown brawl, it's still considered unsporting conduct and can lead to disciplinary action, as seen with the bans issued after the World Cup final incident.
