According to a report on Brazilian television channel Globo, Materazzi made a serious comment on Zidane in the ground. He called him a dirty terrorist and his sister a prostitute just few minutes before the frightful incident. Zinedine Zidane could control his temper towards the Italian defender. He head butted Materazzi in the second half of extra-time. The rest is history.
