Portuguese clasico gets angry after one of the highest kicks you’ll see

Tom Victor

Games between Porto and Benfica are pretty tense as it is, even without players like Maicon doing things like this.

The Porto captain made Nigel de Jong’s World Cup final kung-fu kick look like nothing as he launched his foot above head-height during O Clasico.

We’re hardly surprised that the Benfica players all surrounded him before being separated by the referee. This was ridiculous.

Amazingly he wasn’t even booked for it.
