Alunga Mwepu also utilize kick

Posted on August 5th, 2007 in Uncategorized by admin

Alunga Mwepu was a Zairean football player who achieved notoriety for his performance in a match against Brazil at the 1974 World Cup. Mwepu formed part of the defensive wall when Brazil were awarded a free kick just outside the Zairean penalty area. When the referee blew his whistle to allow the free kick to be taken, Mwepu ran up to the ball and kicked it away before Rivelino could take the kick. He was given a yellow card for the action.
