6. Benjamin Massing On Claudio Caniggia

Dubbed as one of the most horrendous tackles in World Cup history, Cameroon defender Benjamin Massing charges into Claudio Caniggia in a last ditch attempt to stop the Italian progressing into a scoring opportunity. The Cameroon defender watched on as the speedy Italian made his way past three of Massing€™s teammates. The violent clash was a clear attempt to prevent the chance leading to a goal. Claudio Caniggia made a sensational run through the Cameroon team but this dangerous effort by Massing led to the defender being handed a straight red card.
