Following Nigeria’s defeat by the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia , Nigerians have taken to different platforms to express their disappointment and dashed hopes as the Super Eagles failed to keep up their winning streak.
Adding his opinion, former Nigerian forward, Julius Aghahowa has blamed Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye for the team’s 1-0 loss against Tunisia in the round of 16 of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The game was won up just 63 seconds into the second-half when Youssef Msakni was given all the time and space he could ask for as he took aim from 25 yards.
His bouncing, dipping shot caught Okoye off guard and his weak parry was unable to prevent the ball from nestling in the corner of the net.
In his reaction to the defeat, Aghahowa, who was a guest analysis on AIT AFCON Coverage, said that he was disappointed with Okoye’s poor judgement of the ball.
He said that Okoye should have saved that ball because he saw the ball coming towards his direction.
Expressing his disappointment, he said he should have done better as it was a game they didn’t deserve to lose at all. He sais as it has happened, Nigerians should have to accept their fate.
