This one picture, which reflects Georgi Minoungou’s entire career to date, was taken during a friendly match on November 18th, Burkina Faso against Benin. In injury time of the first half, Minoungou received a through ball, a hook in the penalty area, shot with the right, goal. He could have run to the corner flag in celebration, like most footballers would have done. But he stopped. And he put his right hand on his right ear, and his left hand on his left eye.
