Super Eagles Interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen has said that the Super Eagles crashed out of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations due to bad officiating.
Eguavoen said this Sunday in a post match press conference in Garoua, Cameroon.
He added that the Super Eagles did not deserve to lose to the Tunisian, adding that the players should put the disappointment behind them and make sure they qualify for the World Cup in Qatar taking place later this year.
“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,” the coach said
”I have told the players to pick up and ensure they qualify Nigeria for the World Cup,” Eguavoen said.
He however pointed out that it was always very difficult when you play against a tactical side like Tunisia, especially when the officiating was not 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,” Eguavoen added.
