Bersandar di Tiang Gawang, Gelandang Senegal Dituduh Jadi Biang Kerok Kegagalan Timnya Melaju ke 16 Besar

Africa's #WorldCup hopes were dashed last night as Colombia sent Senegal packing.

We have to ask though, what was the defender at the goalpost doing? #Breakfast984 pic.twitter.com/qkqjmE8njj

Dalam tayangan ulang tersebut, Idrissa Gueye terlihat beridri santai di tiang gawang sebelah kiri.

Sepak pojok Kolombia secara tak terduga mengarah ke dekat Gueye, namun bola disambar Yerry Mina yang melompat lebih tinggi dari pemain lainnya.

Namun bukan berusaha merebut bola, Gueye hanya terdiam sambil menyaksikan sang kiper kebobolan.

Sebelum sepak pojok Kolombia dilakukan, Gueye bahkan terlihat bersantai sambil bersandar ke tiang gawang.

#SENCOL Just look at Gana Gueye.

Publik sepak bola pun segera bereaksi atas apa yang dilakukan pemain Everton tersebut.

Banyak yang menuding Gueye melakukan blunder fatal yang menyebabkan negaranya gagal lolos ke 16 besar.

Tried to be sorry for Senegal but if you have a player (5. Idrissa Gueye) taking a nap and dreaming about Jill of rice while defending a corner kick...you have yourself to blame for loosing #WorldCup #SEN #SENvCOL pic.twitter.com/65fFCBmalc

Senegal tadinya adalah harapan terakhir Afrika setelah sebelumnya Mesir, Maroko, Nigeria, dan Tunisia sudah dipastikan tereliminasi di fase grup.

Kegagalan Singa-singa Teranga memastikan tidak ada tim asal Afrika yang lolos ke babak 16 besar Piala Dunia 2018, dimana ini menjadi pencapaian terburuk Benua Afrika di Piala Dunia sejak 1982.
