At a match between Novo Hamburgo and Internacional, this clearance turned into a full on Shawn Michaels-style Sweet Chin Music

A recent match between the youth teams of Novo Hamburgo and Internacional from Brazil featured one of the worst tackles we’ve seen in a while, although we’re hoping that it was purely by accident.

Novo Hamburgo’s Centre-back Luis Henrique comes steaming in to clear the ball in a move that looks like something from a John Smith lager ad, but on the follow through manages to shove his foot into the chest of Inter striker Rapinha, who most definitely feels the impact.

The surprising result of this incident was a free out, and, amazingly, no card, either yellow or red for young Henrique. So there you go, that’s pretty much legal so just go for it and try that at home or on your mates or whatever.

Actually our lawyers are saying don’t try that at home…
