Footage Shows Samuel Eto’o Brutally Attacking A Man At World Cup In Qatar [Watch]

Surprising footage of football legend and Cameroon FA president Samuel Eto’o attacking a man following Brazil’s 4-1 win over South Korea at the Qatar World Cup has surfaced online.

According to the report, the incident happened while Samuel Eto’o was leaving Stadium 974 in Doha after watching Monday night’s Round of 16 clash.

The footage, uploaded by La Opinion and shared by various outlets including El Partidazo de COPE, shows Eto’o posing for photos with fans as he left the ground.

He then takes issue with one man recording him with a camera, it’s unclear what was said to rile Eto’o, who was visibly furious with the cameraman.

The man continues to record, much to Eto’o’s frustration, before another person takes the camera and appears to throw it to the ground.

As the man leaned down to retrieve the camera, Eto’o appears to attack him with a brutal knee to the face.

The force of the impact knocked the cameraman to the ground. He then got to his feet and didn’t appear to be badly hurt.

Eto’o was led away, to prevent the ugly situation from escalating further, and the Daily Mail have since contacted both the retired striker and the Cameroon Football Federation for comment.
