DR Congo won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Théo Bongonda, the Spartak Moscow winger.

The goal came after a huge blunder by Beninese central defender, Yohan Roche.

While he could have cleared the ball with his head, the defender, inexplicably, let the ball go by ducking down.

The problem was, Bongonda was lurking and took full advantage!

You have to wonder if Bongonda didn’t shout “leave it” while pretending to be Benin’s goalkeeper, right?
