Off he goes.

In a reminder of the uniqueness and colour that can be seen at the Africa Cup of Nations, Ley Matampi, the Democratic Republic of Congo's vibrant 'keeper, paid tribute to Robert Kidiaba, who is synonymous with the Leopards' No. 1 shirt and who popularised the "donkey" or "bum shuffle" celebration.

After DR Congo equalised in the 67th minute of its quarter-final battle against Ghana, Matampi got on the ground, hopped on his invisible donkey, and went for a stroll.
