Referee slips and trips Zenit soccer player during friendly (Video)

During a friendly Champions Super Cup soccer match between FC Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia) and FC Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), referee Bader Abdullah slipped and accidentally tripped one of Zenit's players.

In the end, Shakhtar won the match 3-1, but that result is likely to be overshadowed by Abdullah's accidental tackle.

On the one hand, it must have been a pretty awkward moment for Abdullah. On the other hand, that was a pretty solid takedown.
