The Head Coach of the Nigeria national women team, Florence Omagbemi has expressed reservations at a supposed wrong call made by the referee in Wednesday’s game against Ghana’s Black Queens.
According to Omagbemi, Nigeria was denied a valid shout for penalty when goals’ machine Asisat Oshoala was brought down in Ghana box.
“The foul on Asisat Oshoala was a clear penalty in my own assessment. I was disappointed in the referee not making the call.” The Nigeria coach stated.
In the long run, Nigeria settled for a 1-1 draw with Ghana in one of the group phase matches of the ongoing 10th Women Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon on Wednesday.
The Falcons drew the first blood when Asisat Oshoala scored her fifth of the tournament in the 19th minute at the Stade Omnisports Limbe, but the Nigerians were somewhat too anxious in front of goal and missed several chances.
Ghana drew level two minutes before recess when Ugo Njoku committed a foul in the box and Elizabeth Addo made no mistake from the spot.
The Falcons will next face Kenya as they go all out to seal their place in the semi finals.
