In a U-19 soccer tournament in Brazil, Sport Recife goalie Gustavo Ramon do Nascimento attacks an unsuspecting opponent, Vasco da Gama's Elivelton, with a flying kung-fu kick to the back of his neck.
Needless to say, there is no place in the sport for this kind of behavior. Fortunately, Eliveton was OK. Gustavo has since apologized for his actions, but faces a lifetime ban from the sport and possibly attempted murder charges.
