JAKARTA - Cameroon's soccer legend, Samuel Eto 'o reportedly went berserk after watching the 2022 World Cup match in Qatar. He kicked another visitor to the ground.
From the video circulating on social media, it is known that the incident occurred after the victory of Brazil vs South Korea with a score of 4-1 at Stadium 974 on Tuesday, December 6.
In the video uploaded by La Opinion, the incident all shows an image of Eto'o walking at the 974 Stadium. Then the legend was approached by a number of Brazilian fans to ask for a photo.
The man who now serves as President of Cameroonian Football is happy. However, the atmosphere turned tense as a man in a hiatus shirt offered the camera.
Eto'o actually tried to keep going, but suddenly turned around and was angry. Eto'o looked very aggressive in attacking and there were some people trying to contain Eto'o.
Eto'o then beat the man. His kick landed on the man while he was squatting down and made him fall down.
The victim then managed to get up. Meanwhile, Eto'o was led away from the scene.
It was later discovered that the man Eto'o beat was a YouTuber from Algeria, Said Mamouni. The victim accused Eto'o of bribing the referee, Bakary Gassama, who led the Cameroon vs Algeria match in the play-off phase of the 2022 World Cup.
I did all of this for Algeria. Eto'o broke my camera and microphone and hit my chin," said Mamouni, as quoted by The Sun.
"I'm at the police station for investigation. This video should be shared. Since Eto'o is famous, I'm afraid they will hide the case, but I believe in Qatari police," he continued.
Eto'o himself then apologized for his actions. He conveyed the apology via social media.
I would like to apologize for losing my patience and reacting in a way that doesn't suit my personality. I apologize to the public for this unfortunate incident," he wrote.
