DTotD: Marcelinho offers cash reward for tooth knocked out during match

DTotD: Marcelinho offers cash reward for tooth knocked out during match

During last weekend’s Campeonato Pernambucano fifth round match between Sport and Nautico, Sport’s Marcelinho Paraiba collided with Siloe and had a tooth fly out of his head as a result. So after Sport won the match 4-3, Marcelinho asked club officials to try and find the tooth. When they couldn’t, he offered a R$1,000 reward to anyone who could find it since an implant would cost him four times that much.

And how does he know so much about the cost of dental implants? Oddly enough, this is the second time in two years that Marcelinho has had a tooth knocked out during a match. Maybe losing multiple teeth while playing is a sign that the 36-year-old should retire. Or wear a mouth guard.

DTotD: Carlos Vela gets tackled into a linesman

In the second half of Real Sociedad’s 5-1 win over Sportin Gijon on Sunday, Carlos Vela was tackled from behind by Alejandro Galvez right at the touchline, sending him barreling into the linesman. Everyone was alright and the linesman even helped Vela back to his feet (despite the fact that Vela took out his).

Galvez was booked for starting that little domino effect.
