Benjamin Massing vs Claudio Caniggia

Man, that's a tackle with PASSION.

If he would have got past the 3rd tackle the poison blow pipes would have been out !

*makes ball shape with hands*.

You mean he got sent off for a slight kick out? He wasn't even wearing his boot at the time!

Caniggia went down faster than the Belgrano

Of course a red.

It had to be done

One of the best fouls ever.

One of the most clear red card’s I’ve ever seen.

Shouldn't even have gotten a yellow. Caniggia dived.

The most comical tackle in football history.

The first defender got a bit of Caniggia. The second guy got most of him and nearly toppled him.

Then Massing wipes him off the face of the earth 😂🤣

clean in my books, that's a yellow for simulation for caniggia

Que chulada, le dio una de las que tanto les gusta recetar a esos australes inflacionarios

Decisive challenge. PLAY ON!

Almost as good as Joe Šimunićs for Croatia against Serbia in 2013 😂😂

Massing was a warrior, he was a friend of my dads and I met him once in January of 2017. He didn’t speak much but he had a massive presence not just because of his size but because of the respect he naturally commanded. May god bless his soul and may he rest in peace.

Was going to break the 110m world hurdles record until he fell at the last 😅.

Only gave the Argies what they gave everyone else. They were the dirtiest World Cup team of all time.

Clearly got the ball.

There an African football saying"you pass,the ball does not pass or the ball passes but you do not pass"😊

Burrichaga (7) wouldn't have stayed on the field these days either; standing on Massing's foot would be caught by the VAR.

Great stuff.The Argies have always been dirty so that challenge was well deserved.They have no right to complain about anyone.

If you have the skills, use them or sit back. Never hit a man of your brotherhood. If you think you are physically strong then go and do wrestling or MMA

I've been there..., was an eyewitness of this great match, including the opening ceremony of this World Cup at San Siro stadium...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

One of my favourite all time moments in a World Cup

Can we please have this in 4k? For Bruce Lee's 50th Anniversary 12 August we got Enter the Dragon coming to an Odeon near you. Please can we have 4k Cameroon Kung Fu Soccer!!! He kicked Maradona in the ass before being sent off and poor Claudio was lucky to be able to run again? Wham!!!

Greatest red card ever

After seeing this amazing tackle, the NFL’s Buffalo Bills tried to sign Massing for the 1990 season, however, negotiations broke down at the last minute. The Bills would go on to lose that year’s super bowl, partially due to poor tackling. Too bad, Massing had perfect form here.

The most vicious tackle I’ve ever seen. Caniggia was flying. What a run. Credit to him for keeping his balance. Any other player wouldve swan dived instantly, particularly Neymar the great faker.

Caniggia! What A PLAYER!

Gen Z. I know you are watching and I mnow what you are thinking 🤔

Claudio is a DUNDEE FC LEGEND 🙌 DEE4LIFE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Got the ball ref

Can't believe i found this. Was just telling my son about this crazy moment that i remember watching in my childhood. Thought I'd try n find it to show him. Great times and thanks for uploading bro 👍🏻

Vile cheating corrupt Africans.

Did anyone notice the sneaky Argentine response: 2 steps on Massing's boot and then 7 rakes his stockinged foot! Perfect riposte!

Come on, he clearly played the ball...

The flash. Cameroon won, but deserved to have at least 3 athletes expelled.

con la maglia della juve era tutto regolare

Get it into ya son

Wonderful just visited this remember watching this back in 1990. Loved the subtle tread on the foot afterwards too.

The greatest world cup moment of all time.

Such a cowardly little stamp on Massing’s bootless toe by Burruchaga. Quick look round before the act and then running away to the ref

1990 - The greatest world cup ever, even better than Mexico 1970. It had everything, and this match summed up the world cup superbly - the underdogs beating the then world champions. Every world cup has shocks wins and defeats, which makes it so special. That tackle was legendary. Having watched two of his team mates try to take Caniggia out and fail miserably, Massing set off on a mission solely to kick Caniggia into orbit - ball, what ball?. Mission accomplished. It was 1990 that 38 year old Roger Milla (pronounced Mee-la) was superb, scoring several goals and then the iconic celebration around the corner flag. He then played in the 1994 world cup at the age of 42 and scored a goal or two from memory! Happy dayz and memories of 1990.

Took one for the team, wasn’t going to allow this kid to do to them what Diego did to the English 4 years earlier…it was building up to be something special.

I used to play as a defender and sometimes you just have to do this and take the hit for the team. Full marks to Cannigia for staying on his feet, a lot of modern players would have gone down under the first challenge.

No point putting his boot back on lmfao

Blatant dive…cheating bastard

Kudos to Canigga for trying to stay on his feet.

Until Massing said "No!".

Don't mess with Massing.

That was a great tackle from Massing... always nice to see Argentines beaten literally
