The most talked about Nigeria vesus Malawi world cup qualifying match has come and gone with Nigeria winning Malawi 2-0 to claim the top position in that group.
What is news in that encounter is how Nigeria’s attacker Nnamdi Oduamadi fooled the centre referee to secure a penalty where supporting striker, Victor Moses gladly made it 2 for Nigeria.
Oduamadi, looking at the clip shows that the Malawi’s defender did not have any contact with the leg of Oduamadi of which he was fouled for Oduamadi for the penalty which Nigeria used in scoring the second goal to increase her goal tally to 2.
Goal bound Oduamadi was enterprising upfront and used his professional expertise to trap the defender of the Malawi side to attracted the favour of the centre referee, and it paid off for him.
Even without that second goal Nigeria would have still claimed the day even as both sides seriously bombarded themselves in some exchange of words in respect of this particular encounter. What Nigerians should know centre referee to have increased Nigerian goal tally to 2, instead of 1.
It is true that Nigerian attackers ravaged the defence of the Malawians, but wasted valuable goal scoring opportunities. The centre referee might be sanctioned if Malawi takes him to FIFA court for justice, even as they lost the encounter, it will be on record that Nigeria beat Malawi 2-0 in a world qualifier match.
Oduamadi too might be visited for fooling the referee to secure that penalty for Nigeria.
For Nigeria not taking their chances should be blamed on Musa Ahmed, Emmanuel Emenike mostly.####
