The scene happened after the round of 16 match between Brazil and South Korea. Striker legend Samuel Eto’o is asked for a photo by several fans. The president of the Cameroonian Football Association initially expressed his willingness to grant the request before seeing a man filming him.
Eto’o tries to take the camera from him. When he can free himself from the people who are holding him back, he kicks the man in the face with his knee. He remains dazed on the ground.
The victim is no stranger
According to the Algerian portal “DZ”, the man is a YouTuber from Algeria. This is said to have addressed Eto’o to the controversial referee Bakary Gassama. Gassama refereed the World Cup playoff game between Algeria and Cameroon.
Youtuber sadouni SM announced in a video on his channel that he would report Eto’o to the local police.
