DTotD: Abbondanzieri takes down his own son in charity match

Former Argentina goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri recently played in a charity match with his young son on the opposing team. There would be no tender father-son moments, though. Unless you consider vengeful takedowns to be tender moments, in which case you should probably stop reading this and get back to training, Nigel De Jong.

At one point, Roberto's son swiped the ball off him with incredible ease. Instead of laughing it off or applauding his boy out of fatherly pride, Abbondanzieri avenged his embarrassment by tackling his son from behind. He was shown a yellow card. And I'm guessing the car ride home was pretty awkward.
