First of all, that's not quite the same goal. The ball is just as long, but it has enough height for Cisse to jump straight up, meet it, and ricochet it up-and-over the goalkeeper. The ball Van Persie took was much lower. So when he's the about same distance Cisse is from the goal, the ball is already at face-level. He can't take that header the same way. He just can't.
And more to the point, if that Cisse goal were to be scored in this tournament, it would likewise be a contender for goal of the tournament just like van Persie's, which sorta renders your whole point moot.
