Activists interacted with the goal, as one of the tweeters said, "It is one of the best competing goals for the Puskas Award for the best goal of the season."
While a South African sports tweeter wrote, "This is definitely the goal of the season. It proves Senegal's superiority as a strong country on the African continent."
