Tubilandu Ndimbi (born 15 March 1948) is a Congolese football goalkeeper who played for Zaire in the 1974 FIFA World Cup.[1] He also played for AS Vita Club.
He appeared in his team's second match in the 1974 World Cup against Yugoslavia. Zaire was 3-0 down, and they substituted goalkeeper Kazadi with Tubilandu in the 21st minute. This was the first instance of a goalkeeper substitution in the World Cup for any other reason than injury. Unfortunately, Tubilandu's first task was to put the ball off the net after Ivan Buljan's free kick was headed in by Josip Katalinski. Yugoslavia were 6-0 up by half time, and they eventually won 9-0.
As late as 1985, Tubilandu was still playing for Zaire, appearing in a 1986 African Cup of Nations qualifying match versus the Republic of the Congo in Brazzaville.[2]
