The interim coach, the Super Eagles interim of Nigeria Augustine Eguavoen has reacted to the team’s exit from the ongoing African Cup of Nations (AFCON) holding in Cameroon.

Tunisia bundled Nigeria out of the tournament on Sunday with a 1-0 win in the Round of 16. The Carthage Eagles progressed to the next round through a second-half goal from Youssef Msakn.

Tunisia which won the 2004 edition of the tournament will now face Burkinfaso on Sunday in the quarter-finals.

Eguavoen blames bad officiating
Giving his thoughts on the match during the post-match press conference, Eguavoen, a former Nigerian international said the Super Eagles exited the tournament due to bad officiating.

While noting that his players fought a good fight, Eguavoen said it was always very difficult playing against a tactical side like Tunisia, especially when the officiating was not fair.

“We tried to come back after the Tunisia goal, and we chased the game. But then we got a red card. It was clear that the officiating wasn’t fair.

“I won’t criticise the referee because they are masters of the game, but Alex Iwobi’s red card wasn’t fair. The foul wasn’t an intentional one,” he said.

Na dat call.call wey una for busy.

Overhyped team
Overhyped coach

Eguavon say the fact,it is buhari

That Ref was the same Ref who awarded a dubious penalty to Ghana against South Africa during their last wc qualifier match in Kumasi.

And the VAR double standard is second to none .

There was a clear handball in the eighteen yard box against Tunisia, but the VAR guys refused to call the Ref.

Above all, our fine boy goalkeeper sent us parking, period !!!

Na lie, the Tunisians were better coordinated and prepared than we were...

The better team won. Was the referee the reason Nigeria didn't have a shot on target.

Iwobi that can't score or assist is the player you brought in to make impact

Several overhyped players in that team.
