Christian Luyindama is considered one of the main players in the non-qualification process of the DR Congo to host the 2022 World Cup. He was also the victim of vandalism in Kinshasa. These incidents occurred after the match against Morocco (4-1) in the 2022 World Cup Play-Offs. The defender committed two errors in the first two goals by Morocco.
DR Congo did not qualify for the 2022 World Cup. After a draw (1-1) in Kinshasa, the Leopards were eliminated from the play-offs by Atlas Lions. They defeated them in Casablanca (4-1), in the return match. Everything was played at the Mohammed V Stadium, where the Hector Cuper men took the water against the locals. Christian Luyindama was one of the main culprits in this Congolese defeat. The defender offered two goals in the first period to the Moroccans, which was enough to weigh down his team’s heads for the remaining 45 minutes. After a poor clearance, he first offered Azzedine Ounahi his opener in the 22nd minutes. After an unfortunate head deflection, he made a decisive pass towards Tarik Tissoudali in the second half.
Ransacked house
Two fatal mistakes by Christian LuyindamaThese were not digested in Congolese society. Some people have only asked for his removal from the national soccer team. Others have done more. “Several supporters attacked the Kinshasa house of the defender, ransacking it. They arrived with big stones and broke windows and other objects. They wanted to tear down the entire house. His wife was not present. Fortunately, the police intervened to disperse them. “, said a witness.
Christian Luyindama had been a very average service with the Leopards for the past two year. He was not unanimous among the Congolese. These two errors, which gave the qualification to the Moroccans, were practically to crucify Luyindama.
