Soccer is a violent sport, and injuries can happen at any time of the match. This could be a normal injury to a full-blown heart attack on the pitch (yes, it happened).

The player injured is from the team Espérance Sportive de Tunis, also known as ES Tunis, which is a club based in Tunisia. However, what’s more, captivating is that the goalkeeper who hit him plays for the same national team – Libya.

The former WWE champion seemingly got hold of the clip and took to Twitter to share his reaction for the same.

“I guess we weren’t specific enough Don’t try this at home….at school, anywhere…especially on the pitch.” he wrote.
