Another day, another brawl in a soccer match.  This one comes courtesy of the Asian Champions League in a match that saw Al Sadd win 2-0 over Suwon Samsung.  The trouble started when Samsung’s Choi Sung-hawn was kicked in the head.  The trainers were not able to finish attending to him before Al Sadd scored a goal.  This was the result of a quickly taken free kick that angered Samsung.

This eventually devolved into a good old fashioned brawl as Samsung felt the visiting Al Sadd team took advantage of the rules in a non-sporting way.  Nothing like a good old fist fight to lead to an entertaining soccer match.  We’ve seen a lot of this happen lately, as many soccer teams have started to get chippy with each other during matches.

Thanks to Deadspin for the story.
