DTotD: Japanese defender tackles himself, opponent scores

A mere six minutes into Yokohama F. Marinos' J-League Cup match against Consadole Sapporo last week, defender Naoaki Aoyama took a tumble while running backwards to collect a ball in the middle of the pitch. This gave Sapporo striker Hideo Oshima a leisurely one v one against the keeper that resulted in a goal.

Sapporo ended up winning the group B match 2-1 and Aoyama learned that he should save the moonwalking for halftime.
