AFCON: surreal scenes during Nigeria v Tunisia 🤯 | OneFootball

This will get people talking.

This Saturday evening, Nigeria and Tunisia faced off in the final day of the Africa Cup of Nations.

A match that the Nigerians dominated thoroughly thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen (44') and Semi Ajayi (49').

However, a real turning point occurred just before the hour mark. As Mohamed Ben Romdhane was heading alone towards the goal, the Tunisian midfielder was taken down by the Super Eagles' goalkeeper.

But no foul was called in favor of the Carthage Eagles despite Ben Romdhane's injury following this brutal tackle.

The reason? The referee had whistled for a foul a few seconds earlier following a tackle from behind on Hannibal Mejbri.

This decision drove the Tunisians mad with rage, as they could have benefited from a red card against the Nigerian goalkeeper. The scenario was all the more cruel as Ademola Lookman scored the 3-0 goal a few minutes later.

In your opinion, should the referee have allowed the advantage?
