Zaïre's crazy defensive wall from 1974

Brazil were shaping up to take a free kick in their group match against Zaïre, but the African defender Mwepu Ilunga had other ideas. Before the referee had signalled for the free kick to be taken, Ilunga decided to break free from the end of the Zaïre wall, run to the ball and boot it as far as he could. Brazil ended up winning 3-0 and Ilunga earned himself a booking in probably one of the funniest moments in World Cup history – watch it here.
