DTotD: Tackling the linesman gets a big cheer

Match officials are never the most popular people on the pitch, but to already be disliked enough to garner a cheer from the crowd when a player accidentally tackles a linesman just 15 minutes into an exhibition match is pretty harsh.  

The match was a part of the Innovation Cup, which is intended to test new potential new rules for football. Luckily, the linesman saw the humor in Baiano's unintended takedown and jokingly called for the ref to book the player. The ref, meanwhile, had a camera strapped to his chest for some reason. Either that, or it's some kind of laser defense system for when players attack.
