🤯 Bizarre scenes: team stands still on pitch in protest at refereeing African football was the scene of one of the most BIZARRE moments in the sport’s history. The episode took place in the Ivory Coast Cup. In protest against the refereeing, Racing Club Abidjan players stood STILL on the pitch during the second half.

The opposing team, CO Korhogo, won the match 6-0. Of the six goals, four were scored in the second half (with their rivals “paralyzed”). The match went normally in the first half.

CO Korhogo took a 1-0 lead. The confusion began in first-half stoppage time, when the referee awarded a penalty to the visitors. When the second half started, Racing Club Abidjan’s players then decided to stand still on the pitch.

CO Korhogo scored four more goals (to make it 6-0), but then began passing the ball around and avoided an even more lopsided scoreline. Have you ever seen anything like this in football? Leave your comment!
