Emmanuel Adebayor is in the news for an outrageous ‘Jackie Chan’ kick on an opponent which resulted into a red card.

Adebayor made the kick whilr playing in the South American Copa Libertadores for his new club in Paraguay Olimpia against Defensa y Justica on Wednesday, March 11th.

Adebayor made the stupid tackle in the 72nd minute which resulted into an immediate red card for the danger he caused his opponent.

Replays show that the tackle made by Adebayor may not have been intentional as he and the opposing player but had eyes on the ball.

Adebayor realized the severity of his actions and took to his official Twitter handle to show remorse and apologize to the player who suffered the dangerous tackle.

He said in his post,  “SEA, tough game today! What a great team spirit, and what a win boys @elclubolimpia. Sad to leave the pitch early on a Jackie Chan challenge. It was never my intention to hurt my opponent, and I’m glad he is okay.”

That was Adebayor’s fourth game since he joined Olimpia last month on a free transfer. Even though they lost Adebayor, Olimpia held on to beat Defensa y Justicia 2-1
