Immediately after the match between Honduran rivals Real Espana and Marathon, fans of both clubs, the players, and the police all took part in a brawl on the pitch.
During this battle royale, Real Espana defender Marlon Pena defended one of his teammates by delivering a graceful yet brutal flying kick to one pitch invader’s head. This prompted a couple of other tough guys to take a step back and seemed to calm the pitch invading brawlers down a bit, as they suddenly realized that they were dealing with people capable of kicking them in the head.
This has been the Dirty Tackle of the Day: a chronicling of unfortunate events.

Great flying kick. One can only hope Marlon Pena didn’t get a red card!
I’m surprised that he stayed on his feet!
