YouTube star IShowSpeed was lucky not to be sent off after he delivered a crunching challenge on Kaka in a charity match.
The internet sensation continued his footballing escapades in Qatar on Friday as he featured in the Match for Hope to raise money for the Education Above All [EAA] Foundation.
Online stars and footballing royalty, including Roberto Carlos, Didier Drogba and David Villa, all featured in a hectic match between Team Chunkz and Team AboFlah.
IShowSpeed is known for his excitable behaviour on the screen and it seems as though he isn’t shy to show it on the pitch either.
During the first half, Kaka was on the ball and was eyeing up his next pass before he could sense he was being chased down.
He tried to shift his positioning, but it was too late as IShowSpeed came lunging in behind him and wiped him out with a horror studs-up challenge.
The 2007 Ballon d’Or winner and 2002 World Cup champion with Brazil was left lying on the ground after what was a hefty tackle.
IShowSpeed was then booked by the referee, although judging by his response, he clearly felt he was hard done by.
It’s not the first time he has graced the pitch as he has made appearances in the last two Sidemen Charity matches.
He missed a penalty and was on the losing side on the previous outing, but found himself on the winning team this time around.

Despite his efforts, IShowSpeed missed two great chances to score, both of which were provided by Chelsea legend Eden Hazard.
At full-time, Team Chunkz had beaten Team AboFlah 7-5 in a match that saw some of football’s greats roll back the years.
Kaka scored before he was tackled and David Villa banged in two goals, with their quality still shining despite retirement.
Drogba also found the back of the net on two occasions, with Hazard finding the target too as fans were treated to some throwback displays from their idols.
