Debutants show an innovative way of defending a dangerous set piece...
The beauty of World Cup Football is that it pits nations of varying size, heritage, culture and rulebook knowledge against each other. In the 1974 group game between giants Brazil and minnows Zaire, Jarzinho and co were lining up to take a free kick 25 yards from goal, when upon hearing the referee's whistle, opposition right-back Ilunga Mwepu charged out from the wall and booted the ball downfield.
The moment provided a wonderful insight into the gargantuan chasm that existed between the two sides, and without trying to sound too patronizing, the innocent yet comical act endeared the Zairese to the watching world. Everyone accept the referee that is.
