If you ever get in a fight, it’s probably in your best interest to never underestimate your adversary — even if it’s someone half your size. Just ask Costa Rica coach Paulo Wanchope, who got his ass beaten by a miniature security guard Tuesday night.
Wanchope was watching his U-23 squad play a qualifier match against Panama when he attempted get out onto the field to argue with an official. As you can see below, once Wanchope gets the gate open, he appears to get shoved before turning around to slap the guy in the face. Unfortunately, that was the lone shot Wanchope got in because that little man went off on him.

Holy shit, who starts a fight off with a flying kick?! Paulo tussled with the wrong man.
Paulo’s brother, Javier, told the media that security was giving him issues (via Sky Sports):
“Security was bothering him. I believe that authorities from UNCAF (Central American Football Union) have to calm things. Authorities came in yelling and weren’t calming thing things down.”
