@stickmaniaworld: Pathé Ciss Tried to Stop History With His Bod The penalty had already been given. But Pathé Ciss still found one final way to protest. As Senegal surrounded the referee, Ciss walked toward the penalty spot. Then he dropped onto it. And stayed there. He was not the player who committed the foul. But when he could not change the decision, he tried to control the space around it. Five months earlier, Senegal had reacted to another late VAR penalty against Morocco by leaving the pitch during the Africa Cup of Nations final. Sadio Mané convinced them to return. Brahim Díaz missed. Senegal won on the field—but the walkout later cost them the title. Against Belgium, Senegal did not leave. But the resistance remained. This time, it became one unforgettable image: Pathé Ciss lying across the penalty spot while Belgium waited. Eventually, he stood up. Youri Tielemans scored in the 125th minute. Senegal were eliminated. The goal entered the record books. But the image that survived was the player who tried to block history with his body. Football is more than the final score.
