During a friendly between French U-17 sides AS Villaret and SOM, one of theses unsuspecting youngsters took an excruciating blow to the midriff.

The impact of the challenge made by the ‘keeper is so colossal that you almost wince in pain as the sole of his boot makes contact with the onrushing player’s abdomen.

The ‘keeper looked to be nowhere near the ball, and his flailing leg was only in vain as the striker of the ball wound up missing his attempt at goal.

I know what you’re thinking. Ouch.
