The Ethiopian goalkeeper Jemal Tassew’s actions during the match against Zambia, where he attacked the Zambian winger Chisamba Lungu outside his penalty area, resulted in his immediate exclusion. This incident brought back memories of a similar clash between French player Patrick Battiston and German goalkeeper Harald Schumacher during the 1982 FIFA World Cup semi-finals in Seville. Battiston was brutally fouled by Schumacher, and the incident remains a memorable and controversial moment in football history. The reference to this historical event emphasizes the severity and impact of Tassew’s actions during the recent match.
