Michael Orozco opened up a giant blood pit on Chucky Lozano’s ankle

Dirty Tackle of the Day

In just the 12th minute of Friday night’s Liga MX match between Tijuana and Pachuca, U.S. international Michael Orozco planted his boot in the ankle of 21-year-old Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, opening up a horrifying wound.

With Celta Vigo scouts reportedly in the stands to see him, Lozano had to be stretchered off and Orozco was shown a yellow card for the challenge before being substituted at halftime. Pachuca went on to win 3–2.

Pachuca’s official Twitter account shared a close-up of Lozano’s ankle and OH MY GOD DO NOT LOOK AT THIS.

Tijuana’s Juan Arango gets away with biting opponent on the shoulder

Tijuana midfielder Juan Arango is best known for scoring magnificent goals, which he did again in his side’s 4-3 loss to Monterrey on Saturday. But it was his nibble on an opponent’s shoulder during the game that will change his reputation to that of a Luis Suarez wannabe.

Arango clearly took Jesus Zavala’s shirt between his teeth for reasons unknown, but it’s unclear if he actually pinched the skin. Regardless, Zavala fell to the ground and showed his shoulder to the referee in a scene reminiscent of what Giorgio Chiellini did after he was bit by Suarez at the World Cup.
