You can always count on AFCON to deliver hilarious football memes and moments to the world, as evidenced by Gambian player Muhammed Sanneh attempting a Maradona-style ‘Hand of God’ in the closing moments of his side’s game with Cameroon earlier.

The audacity to try this move in an era where VAR is watching your every move is just classic AFCON:

Too funny. Sanneh wheeled away in celebration even though it was blatantly obvious that VAR was going to rule the goal out, but Gambia still ended up beating Cameroon 3-2 and topping their group so I doubt he minds too much.

Still, if only it was 1986, the goal would have stood and he Sanneh would have gone down in history. Never mind though, there’s always the original:
