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 as a 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 this protest movement 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, simply passing the ball around.
A rare scene that will go down in the history of Ivorian football.
