If anyone's wondering why Ilunga did such a thing, it was an act of defiance from him. In the 1974 World Cup, the Zaire national team was in the same group as Brazil, Scotland & Yugoslavia. In their first match, they faced Scotland. Despite losing 2-0, they impressed everyone with their performance. But the Zaire officials weren't happy & the players to their despair found out that they wouldn't be paid anything for playing in the World Cup. As a result, they refused to play in the next match against Yugoslavia. This was met by threats of imprisonment from Zaire. Upon this threat & FIFA's pleading, they took to the field. In an uninspired performance, they lost 9-0 (biggest margin in WC history till this day). Zaire's officials were furious & saw this as a blemish to the country's reputation. Reportedly the then Zaire dictator Mobutu threatened that if they lost by a margin of more than 3 goals (some reports say 5 goals) against Brazil, the Zaire team will not be accepted back to the country. While this free kick incident happened, Zaire was already down 2-0. As the Brazil players were preparing to take the freekick, Ilunga darted out of the wall & kicked the ball away. It was his way of protesting. He later said to journalists that he was attempting to get a red card. So, that was the story. Although it seems funny at first, it's truly tragic. *Note:* Some people may not recognize Zaire. It's known as DR Congo today. If I remember correctly, Mobutu himself named it Zaire at the first place as he was a nationalist leader.
i found that funny too until i read an article about this freekick. zaire players were in mortal danger becaue of their president who was angry about the received goals prior to the jugoslavie defeat
this is the explanation given years later so that people are not going to have prejudices about these Black African Players, but the reality is just what anyone can understand. But hey today the dominant system called political correctness is rewriting the history of the world, we explain to you that what you see is not reality.
To be fair, I've watched this video SO many times, and no matter what the various stories say, you can see the player signalling to the ref as if to say "I thought you blew the whistle". Stories of him not understanding the rules, having a break down etc.. capture the imagination far more than the most obvious explanation I guess...
Aproveitou o apelo midiático de uma partida do Brasil, para fazer isso como forma de protesto e desabafo contra a ditadura de Mobutu Sese Seko no antigo Zaire. Descanse Em Paz. R.I.P.
Zaire also qualified and found the exact same thing.Mobutu the dictator lavished praise on his Leopards.After losing 9-0 to Yugoslavia he changed his mind,the players and management were locked in a room where a representative of the mad bastard told them in no uncertain terms that if they lost to Brazil by more than 3 goals , they wouldn`t see sunlight in Africa again.

Gonzaga78 Mobotu Sesse Soko (their president/dictator) threatened them with 'never returning home' (potentially death on arrival) if they dishonoured the country by losing more than 3-0. The guy spacked the ball away because he would do anything to try to waste time so they weren't all killed, imprisoned or lost all their property and livelihood to a whimsical dictator. Hilarious. inbedwithmaradona.com/journal/2011/7/25/that-joke-isnt-funny-anymore-zaire-at-the-1974-world-cup.html
The President of Zaire, Mobutu time Secesako He threatened his players with arrest and murder If they lose to Brazil the same result Yugoslavia 9-0 Which made them afraid strongly

gente busquen un poco de informacion al respecto de este mundial y se van a sorprender por lo que paso zaire y se van a dar cuenta porque hizo eso ese jugador
This is really not that funny. The Zaire player, on the face of it, just didn't know any better and kicked the ball in a fit of perceived ignorance. However, the real story is much darker, there was a dictator running Zaire at that time, he had said that he would turn the team into "soup" if they lost 4-0 to the mighty Brazil So, at the point in time that this freekick was being played out, the score was 3-0, so had Brazil scored from this freekick then the Zaire players would know they were going to be killed. I think given the set of circumstances to hand, I would have kicked the ball away as well, and then happily endure a few ignorant posts years later on CZcams - that would be the least of my worries
runninglikewind a new podcast just came out saying that I most likely was a moment of rebellion against the dictator, the dictator basically ruled over the team. The team decided that if they embarrassed themselves, it would embarrass the dictator as well.
You guys are dumb have you even seen how bad Zaire were in the 1974 wc they obviously dont understand all the rules that player thought the whistle had gone so he could kick the ball Its not a scared guy trying to avoid a Dictatorship or any of that bollocks that you people think truth is they were just shit
NO THEY WERENT TRYING TO REBEL YOU GIVE EM TOO MJCH CREDIT THEY LOST 9 NILL LIKE IDIOTS THEY OBVIOUSLY DIDNT KNOW HOW TO PLAY AT THAT LEVEL THEIR NOT THE FIRST AFRICAN TEAM TO LOOK LIKE MUGS AT A WORLD CUP PS WHY WOULD YOU EMBARRASS A DICTATOR HE WOULD KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY YOUR FRIENDS AND THE TEAM REMEMBER THESE GUYS HAVE GOTTA GO HOME IF ANYTHING THEY TRIED HARD AS FUCK BUT THEY WERE SHIT IF YOU KNOW FOOTBALL YOU WATCH THE GAMEW YOU CAN SEE HOW HARD THEY TRY ITS JUST THEY WERE OUT THEIR DEPTH JUST LIKE SAUDI ARABIA IN 82
runninglikewind ,, Speaking to World Football, Ilunga says his stunt was no act of stupidity. "I did that deliberately. "I was aware of football regulations. I did not have a reason to continue getting injured while those who will benefit financially were sitting on the terraces watching." He had hoped to have been sent off as an act of protest. "I know the rules very well, but the referee was quite lenient and only gave me a yellow card.",,,,,, just saying
The countrys leader, Mobutu Sese Seko informing the players that should they lose by 4 goals or more to Brazil, there would be dire consequences. Perhaps understandable then, the way Zairian defender Mwepu Ilunga carried on when faced with a free kick, the commentator was almost laughing. Mwepu had the last laugh though, his side only lost by three goals, and the team were allowed to return home. Not so much with their heads held high, but at least they still had them.
This incident was reconstructed on a comedic norwegian sports based TV show called Golden Goal. They had actually gotten this guy who did this to join in order to do this. And when asked about why he did it, he said that they were paid to do this.
You're right, what people forget now is that they were playing the holders and had just lost to Yugoslavia 9-0. It's easy to laugh now, but considering the fates that awaited them back home if they 'brought humiliation on the name of Zaire', it shouldn't take a genius to work out why they were so desperate. It would be like Zimbabwe qualifying for the World Cup today.
saw this video, laughing so hard. read the article about the truth of that Zaire's dictator era. ...saw this video again, still laughing so hard. well maybe i'm going to hell.

@Blochin On a geographical perspective, yes, that is true. On a social one, North (Arab), and sub-Saharan (Black) Africa are two different places (I think that's what he meant). It was a big deal of rising, post-colonial, black nations...at the time.

"I know the rules very well, but the referee was quite lenient and only gave me a yellow card."
Hey, I don't get it. Why is he kicking the ball although no Brazilian player has touched the ball? I read everything about the historical background and what the dictator was going to do with them, but was it just the pressure?
Kivoou its easy, he do that for his life If they was losing more than 4 goals, they would not return back from they're country Soooo..... a really happy match
It that period Zair was ruled by Mobutu Sese Seko, in a dictatorial fashion. If they had lost the game with more than 3 goals, they would have been punished. In a dictatorship, that would have meant to be shot. So, they were playing for their lives.
i heard from another source he was trying to get himself sent off as a protest for the fact the players hadn't been paid, theres also the slight issue about the zaire president taking their lives away if they lost by more then 3 goals, there are all sorts of rumours around this really but all that is certain the condition of the Zaire players was totally wrong at this tournament
@SteRDLK and...????? that doesnt change the fact they didnt know it was allowed for an opposition player to get near their wall. That is quite known, you should had done your own research. It was told by the referee of the match as well as some of the Zaire players.
So correct me if I'm wrong, but he was given a yellow card and then the game resumed? That is, the Brazillians never did get thir free kick? Why doesn't everybody do this? Just make sure a different player kicks it every time, so nobody gets a red card.

segun tengo entendido, esto es por una amenaza del entonces presidente de esa nacion: si comian 4 goles algo malo les iba a pasar. entonces, como ya estaban 3 a 0 hacian lo posible por que pase el tiempo, y si era necesario patear una pelota que no les pertenecia, asi seria
It’s a funny moment but all this didn’t know the rules is bollocks. He knows what he’s doing. He turns to the ref gesturing “what ?” with his arms way too soon with mock surprise. They were arsing about all game.
Côte d'Ivoire (Zaire) .. lost 9-0 to Yugoslavia in the World Cup in 1974 in the first game for them It was the second match with Brazil (defending champion) .. But the dictator Cote d'Ivoire at that time warning them only return to the homeland if they aren't lost more than 3 goals .. Fortunately Brazil won 3-0 .. toppled defender Côte d'Ivoire (Alunja) the ball at the end of the game for fear of a fourth goal may cause the execution of the team by shooting :D :D it was excellent decision :)
@SteRDLK not condescending. I am a realist. And that is a KNOWN FACT. The referee said that. The Zaire players told the referee that. Brazilian coaches who coached African teams back then said that. African football has made great strides since that time. No shame in admiting Zaire players had little experience in the tricks used by the best nations in the world at the time. They played little against great teams. It all changed thanks to Havelange.
@viche21 I heard they got angry because of the brazilian positioning himself near their wall. They didnt know that was allowed. Or maybe he thought that when the ref blew the whistle, the first to arrive at the ball could kick it.
Avevano minacciato di ucciderlo al suo ritorno a casa se avessero perso con più di tre gol di scarto. Quel giocatore salvò la vita ai suoi compagni, perché grazie a quel calcio non subirono il quarto gol. Cercate informazioni su Internet e troverete la storia completa, invece di affidarvi alla vostra prima impressione.
Haiti qualified for the World Cup and had praise lavished on them by Duvalier , the feared dictator of the island . After losing 7-0 to Poland he had his secret service batter the crap out of the squad and warned them that they better play better in the next game . Most of the squad returned to Haiti and found themselves unemployed and in fear of their lives .
A very strange mix on this comments page. A mix of very informed and understanding of the situation in Zaire at the time and to the other extreme of just not undertanding that the player who blasted the ball away was actually having a nervous breakdown on the football pitch. A lovely mix of utter ignorance and knowledge - a bit life life itself
So here are your options, allow Brazil to take the free kick and if they score your President is going to make soup out of you and your family or kick the ball the hell away - which option to choose - oh I'm not sure
This is like Portugal had to play in Bosnia, with a totaly fucked up terrain... really shitty. only because they were a "new country" and fifa want to support those countries. I still waiting to see france, germany, england, or spain playing in a dangerous terrain with holes and gaps....
