Super Eagles interim coach, Austen Eguavoen, has expressed disappointment in the way Alex Iwobi was sent out of the team’s match against Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations in Camerron.
The team favoured to win was sent packing by Tunisia.
Eguavoen is sad that the referee gave Iwobi a red card, saying his offence was not a red card offence.
Besides, he said there was a major infringement against Ndidi, but which the referee overlooked.
Speaking after the match, he noted that Iwobi didn’t deserve to be sent out of the match since he was a first time offender.
Iwobi was shown a red card in the 64th minutes, after the referee upgraded his yellow card to a red one following a VAR Review for a bad attack.
Eguavoen also congratulated Tunisia for qualifying for the quarter finals adding that the Super Eagles did their best even though they were knocked out by The Eagles of Carthage.
Analysts believe the Super Eagles underperformed generally, with the fervour they displayed, say, against Egypt in the qualifying match lacking.
