World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was hit in the head with a radio thrown from the stands as he conducted a post-match interview with a television reporter.

The incident came after Scolari's team Palmeiras defeated Goiás 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana semifinals on Wednesday.

Scolari was being interviewed live on television when the radio flew through the air and struck him in the back of the head.

Big Phil was naturally surprised and hurt, so he turned around to the fans and angrily showed them a closed fist.

He then told the reporter: "It will take more than a radio to bring me down."
