“What is this?”: Libya goalkeeper suffered the “chicken” of the year

The game between Libya and Cape Verde was marked by an unusual moment that quickly went viral. Sidny Cabral, a player from Estrela da Amadora, was the scorer of the goal that resulted from a monumental error by the Libyan goalkeeper, Al Wuheeshi.

In the 76th minute, Cabral tried a long pass to a teammate, but the play ended unexpectedly. The Libyan goalkeeper completely failed to catch the ball, which ended up passing between his legs and into the goal, surprising everyone on the field and in the stands.

The move, worthy of a real “chicken”, generated an immediate reaction on social media and promises to be among the most caricatured moments of the year.
