Zambian player commits shocking tackle and gets away with it

Footballers do the darnedest things.

From Roy Keane to Nigel de Jong, we've seen some of the most renowned players vilified for making shock tackles and career-altering decisions. Gentlemen, you have company.

Saturday's CAF Super Cup final (Africa's continental equivalent of the UEFA Super Cup) saw Congolese giants TP Mazembe run out 2-1 winners over Tunisian side Etoile du Sahiel, but Kabaso Chongo made the sort of studs-up challenge that would have seen one sent off within seconds in a Sunday league.

But not in this encounter. Watch (and prepare to cringe like you've never done before):

Ouch! Right in the crown jewels!

To make matters worse, Chongo's tackle warranted only a yellow card from the referee.

And Chris Brunt thinks a coin is tough?
