After seeing Brazil defeat South Korea 4-1 at Stadium 974, Samuel Eto’o appeared to get into a fight. In a video that was captured outside a stadium in Qatar, Eto’o appeared to be lashing out at a World Cup spectator.
One of the best players of his time and former striker for Barcelona and Inter Milan, he looked enraged after the other person said something to him.
Eto’o has been attending matches in Qatar and, prior to Switzerland’s 1-0 win over Cameroon earlier in the tournament, stood alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino on the pitch.
Now, however, he’s making headlines for all the wrong reasons after appearing to react violently to a supporter filming him.
The Football Federation president was asked questions by the supporter, with La Opinion then publishing a video. The footage starts off well enough, with Eto’o appearing to be in a good mood as he posed for pictures with eager footballing fanatics.
But things then went south with Eto’o reacting angrily to a fan holding a camera and asking him questions.

The Cameroon striker appeared to knee the man in retaliation, with his entourage trying to take the camera away from the fan.
Eto’o gave his mobile phone to a friend and went for the man, using his right knee to hit him in the face and send him falling to the ground. Those there to witness the commotion then dragged him away.
Eto’o was reportedly asked what made him react in such a manner. However, he refused to shed more light on the situation.
The Cameroon legend will likely be the subject of investigation and it remains to be seen what happens next.
