Eto'o attacks a fan after Brazil's victory

Samuel Eto'o lost his temper after Brazil's victory against South Korea in the World Cup in Qatar and attacked a fan in the vicinity of the 974 stadium. The former Barça player was surrounded by mobile phones that wanted to take a picture until he the insistence of a fan provoked an excessive reaction from the Cameroonian, who threw him to the ground with a violent kick.

The president of the Cameroon Football Federation (FCF) and ambassador of the Qatar World Cup got into an argument with a fan equipped with a camera, whom he chased and rebuked for several seconds while the African's companions tried to hold him down so that the situation was not to major.

Finally, Eto'o got away from the people who were holding him back and with a strong kick near the hip, even to the chest as can be seen in the images, knocked the fan to the ground. One of the people present at the incident had previously taken the camera from the person who had been attacked in a bad way.

The fan in question is an Algerian youtuber named Saduni SM who asked him about Bakary Gassama, the Gambian referee of the controversial second leg of the African play-off between Algeria and Cameroon that brought the 'indomitable lions' to Qatar after winning by 1 -2 in extra time and who is also in the World Cup.

In fact, the Algerian Football Federation requested a replay of the match for what they considered "scandalous arbitration that distorted the result." Algeria saw two goals disallowed during the match, one for offside and another by the hands of Slimani that was confirmed by VAR despite the fact that Gassama had validated the goal.

Saduni SM has explained on his channel that he has filed a complaint against Eto'o for an assault that caused several injuries, as well as for having destroyed his camera and microphone. At the moment, the former striker has not commented on the unfortunate scene that he starred in and is still in Qatar watching the World Cup matches.
