Hilarious Sports Photos That Capture the Exact Moment Chaos Strikes!

 

Too Close for Comfort

Soccer is not usually a contact sport, but sometimes it gets too close for comfort. During a 2012 MTN8 Cup match in South Africa, Orlando Pirates center-back Rooi Mahamutsa delivered a kick no one wanted to receive. He went straight for SuperSport United striker Thabiso Nkoana’s groin.

Approaching from behind, Rooi’s miscalculated challenge made him see red as the referee promptly sent him off. While the move might have been intended to stop the play, it stopped much more than that. This moment prompts us to consider how quickly things can turn from competitive to downright painful on the field.
