🎥 Unusual: a team stands still to protest the refereeing A new tactic has just been invented: standing perfectly still. In the round of 16 of the Ivory Coast Cup, Racing Club Abidjan’s players chose to remain motionless throughout the entire second half, in protest against the refereeing. At first, CO Korhogo had taken a 1-0 lead.
But at the end of the first half, a controversial penalty awarded to COK sparked protests from the Abidjan players. When play resumed, Racing Club Abidjan stayed still, allowing Korhogo to score four more goals, for a final score of 6-0. After that sixth goal, Korhogo’s players avoided widening the gap any further, contenting themselves with passing the ball around.
A rare scene that will go down in the history of Ivorian football. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here.
