AFCON: surreal scenes during Nigeria v Tunisia 🤯

This will get people talking.

This Saturday evening, Nigeria and Tunisia face off in what is the clash of Group C.

A match that the Nigerians dominate thoroughly thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen (44') and Wilfried Ndidi (49').

However, a real turning point occurs 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 blown the whistle a few seconds earlier after 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 Nigeria's 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 played the advantage?
