Ivory Coast took the lead in highly contentious fashion, leaving Burkina Faso’s players furious and the stadium in disbelief. The moment came after an Ivorian player made a strong challenge on a Burkina Faso defender — a foul many expected would immediately rule out the goal.
However, the referee allowed play to continue, and within seconds, Amad Diallo produced a moment of pure brilliance. With an exquisite first touch and remarkable composure, the Manchester United winger finished clinically, scoring a goal that stunned both teams and ignited heated protests from the Burkina Faso players.
While the decision sparked outrage and debate, Amad Diallo’s world-class finish was undeniable, turning a controversial sequence into one of the most talked-about moments of the tournament.
