Watch star get sent off just FIVE SECONDS into game after outrageously kicking opponent in the head | The Sun

BAKER KAMAL KALBOUNEH saw red just FIVE SECONDS into his Jordan side's clash with Tajikistan.

The two nations met in the AFC U20 Asian Cup earlier today.


Eager to do well, Kalbouneh took the message "straight in lads" a little too literally.

As his side kicked off, team-mate Omar Al Osad immediately clipped a pass forward.

Despite being clear second favourite, Kalbouneh raised his boot to try and win the ball.

Tajikistan defender Mekhrubon Karimov won the ball first, before taking a boot in the face for his troubles.

Remarkably, Jordan went on to win the match 2-0, despite being a man short for virtually the entire 90 minutes.

Ali Ahmad Azaizeh put them 1-0 up on seven minutes.
