SPORTS NEWS!!! CAF REACTS TO REFEREE OTOGO-CASTANE PENALTY DECISION AGAINST SUPER EAGLES...SEE

Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA....The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has criticised referee Eric Otogo-Castane of Gabon for awarding a late controversial penalty to Algeria in Friday’s 1-1 draw against Nigeria in the last game 2018 World.

The visitors were forced to a draw when Yacine Brahaimi converted a late penalty which cancelled out John Ogu’s 62nd minute goal for Nigeria.

CAF has criticised the incident that led to the penalty in their match report of the game, posted on cafonline.com,‎ ‎describing the referee’s decision as harsh.

CAF noted that “Algeria Convert Soft Penalty To Hold Nigeria.”

CAF insisted that Shehu Abdullahi who was adjudged to have fouled Brahaimi in the box didn’t foul the forward.

“Yacine Brahimi won and converted a harshly-awarded late penalty to rescue a 1-1 draw for Algeria against already-qualified Nigeria Friday in a World Cup Africa zone Group B dead-rubber.

“The Gabonese referee ruled that Abdullahi Shehu fouled Brahimi as he moved into the box in Constantine, but big-screen replays suggested otherwise.
