Montreal Impact striker Didier Drogba embarrassed himself during Sunday's MLS playoff game against Columbus when he grabbed the leg of goalkeeper Steve Clark and held on for dear life.
It happened in the 86th minute as Clark came out to the edge of the box to clear as Drogba challenged. Clark passed to a teammate just as Drogba took him down with a slide tackle. However, as Clark tried to get back up, Drogba locked onto Clark's leg and wouldn't let go.
Drogba might have gotten away with it too, except that he followed it up by getting into Clark's face and pointing at Clark, as if he did something to deserve the leg lock. The officials finally wised up and gave Drogba a yellow card.
Montreal beat Columbus 2-1 in the first leg of their head-to-head series, with the second leg taking place next Sunday.
