A semi-final match between my country Nigeria and Morocco

Good morning everyone how are you all doing I hope your having a great time as for me I did but not in the moment for some reasons which i will tell you guys. Okay it was a beautiful Wednesday of the great awaiting match we all, the NIGERIANS have been waiting for. A semi-final match between **NIGERIA VS MOROCCO. And the time for the match was 9:00pm African time, How I wish I had super powers to fast forward time, since I didn't have, all I could do was sleep.

Waking up I felt energized and refresh but time was still far ahead it was just some minutes pass 5, fortunate for me my little friend from church came and we played like never before and after we were done playing we sat down, and they kept throwing questions at Me which I got tired of answering and thank you Jesus thier mother came to my rescue and i greeted her and she took them. And when I check the time it was 7:50 so I rush home took my bath since I was feeling heat and sweaty after I was done dress up spray some nice perfume and up I move to the view-center.

Getting to view-center by 8:31pm people already filled up the whole place and chairs were occupied that I couldn't see space to get inside so I stood outside, and some people started engaging themselves in one or two conversation deliberating on the match, before we knew it the game had started and every were became just silent. After some time argument, shouting from different corners of the view center.

At first half our players played with so much pressure that it was so hard for them to control the game though Moroccans had opportunities but couldn't convert any to be a goal and it was so obvious we, and them were missing thier captain cause he was suspended for the match cause of many yellow cards given so the midfield was so open and needed him. After first half some persons started having different perspectives on the game.

Second half came everyone went inside and at this point we couldn't hold back cause the refree didn't help at all to every fall from the Moroccans was a faul even if they fall under anointing the refree must blow so at this point I couldn't hear anything again cause we were angry and everywere became noisy. They played till extra time still no luck on our country to score. And finally it was penalties shoot-out and there we lost to Morocco.

Documenting the questionable decisions by this Ghanaian referee (Nigeria vs Morocco)

18’
Brahim kicks the ball out. The referee blows against Osayi and gives the throw-in to Morocco.
Note: There were wrong calls before this, but let’s start here.

22’
Brahim clearly handballs while trying to chest the ball. No whistle.

32’
Bassey is given a yellow card for an action that wasn’t even a foul.

34’
Clear foul on Ezzazouli not given.

36’
Another obvious foul ignored.

51’
Lookman is clearly pulled. No foul.

52’
Onyedika goes for a fair 50-50 ball. The referee blows against him.
It feels like Nigeria is not even allowed to touch a Moroccan shirt.

58’
Osayi is simply marking Ezzazouli. Suddenly, a free kick for Morocco.

65’
Ezzazouli blasts the ball away. No yellow card.

68’
The ball never leaves the field, yet the referee gives a throw-in to Morocco.
Even Moroccan players look confused.

88’
Free kick given to Hakimi when Moses Simon clearly didn’t touch him. It should have been Nigeria’s corner.

92’
Moses Simon cleanly wins the ball from Hakimi, but the referee calls a foul, stopping a clear counterattack.

93’
Clear foul on Onyeka. Referee waves play on.

99’
No yellow card for Brahim after pulling Bruno and stopping an attack.

102’
No yellow card for Igamane after stopping Osayi’s attack.

103’
The referee blows against Bashiru for absolutely nothing.

115’
Clear foul on Osayi. Completely overlooked.

When every call is against you, it will be difficult to progress with the ball. It will affect you psychologically. The officiating clearly targeted the psychological state of the players during play, using it as a weapon to distabilize the team.
We were heart broken that we Lost on penalties shoot-out but never the less it a game of football anything can happen.
