Nigeria international midfielder Alex Iwobi has faulted the decision of the referee to cancel what would have been the second goal for the senior national team of Nigeria in the 1-2 defeat to Algeria.
Nigeria went ahead in the 9th minute through Terem Moffi and thought they had a two goal lead when Moffi played in Ademola Lookman to tap into an empty net but the goal was ruled out for offside.
Television replays afterward showed the goal should have stood as Moffi was onside and well ahead of Lookman who he laid the ball to. The decision happened a few minutes before Algeria drew level from the spot.
They went on to claim what is their third straight defeat against Nigeria in their last three games but Iwobi still believes the goal which Nigeria scored should have stood and it would have made a difference to the final score.
“One Example… Really Confused As To How This Was Disallowed For Offside”, he posted on Twitter with a picture of the action that led to the goal. Anyway we move….”,he said in the next post.
