That’s Got To Hurt

The expression on the face of former SuperSport United player Thabiso Nkoana says it all. Unfortunately, protective gear is not common in soccer, so in this unfortunate incident, his nether regions came into direct contact with the foot of his opponent, Rooi Mahamutsa from Orlando Pirates, who was shown a red card for the penalty.

The game took place in South Africa in a soccer competition called the MTN8. Mahamutsa apologized to his fans and teammates afterward, understanding that the sending off left his team at a disadvantage for the rest of the game. Supersport United and Orlando Pirates are two of South Africa’s most successful teams.
