Independiente Santa Fe manager Alexis Garcia was upset that the ball boys were giving the ball back to the home team too quickly as his club held onto a one-goal lead. So that’s how he decided to react.

Despite being caught on camera jabbing his finger into the kid’s eye, Garcia attempted to come up with an excuse.

“I stuck out my hand and the kid came with his face,” Garcia said, according to the BBC. 

Nah, we’re not believing that.
