Had a chance to watch the game between Cameroon and the Comoros Islands this eve [BBC red button] IF you want to see a free kick ending with a goal then you need to see the Comoros one near the end... outstanding !!! not sure if this is being broadcast on Eurosport or anywhere else,

Watched the whole of the 1st half and was very impressed with the Comoros team with no goalkeeper and their captain sent off after only 5 mins.
To go in at half-time only 1-0 down was a feat in itself, Comoros had the better chances too.
Kept checking online in the 2nd half and again was very pleased for them how well they fought and only lost by 2-1.
Rules are rules of course, but a bit of commonsense should have prevailed IMO.

From the BBC on the Cameroon v Comoros Islands.
Six people are reported to have been killed and dozens hurt in a crush outside a stadium hosting an Africa Cup of Nations match in Cameroon.
Video footage showed football fans struggling to get access to the Paul Biya stadium in a neighbourhood of the capital Yaounde.
Naseri Paul Biya, governor of Cameroon's central region, said there may be more casualties, AP News said.
Another report said a number of children had lost consciousness.
The stadium has a capacity of 60,000 but because of Covid restrictions it was not meant to be more than 80% full.
Match officials were quoted as saying that some 50,000 people were trying to attend.
Nurse Olinga Prudence told AP that some of the injured were in a "desperate condition".
The Confederation of African Football, CAF said in a statement that it is "currently investigating the situation and trying to get more details on what transpired".

Senegal 0 Egypt 0 - AET - Senegal won 4-2 on Penalties.
Sadio Mane netted the winning spot-kick as Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 on penalties to clinch their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations, after the final ended goalless following extra time.
The Liverpool forward had earlier seen a seventh-minute penalty saved by Pharaohs keeper Gabaski.
Chelsea's Edouard Mendy denied Mohanad Lasheen to give Mane the chance to win it in Yaounde's Olembe Stadium.
Gabaski had made three good saves from Senegal's Bamba Dieng in extra time.
And while the Teranga Lions will celebrate finally winning the tournament, Egypt will soon have a chance for revenge, with the two sides meeting again next month in a two-legged play-off for a spot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Salah's influence waned as the contest went on and he ended on the losing side for the second time in a Nations Cup final, having been part of the Egypt side beaten by Cameroon in 2017.
The next Afcon is due to take place in the Ivory Coast in June and July next year.
