AFCON: Osimhen Gives Verdict On Ghana Referee Laryea’s Officiating During Nigeria’s Defeat To Morocco

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has given his verdict on the officiating of Ghana referee Daniel Laryea during Nigeria’s AFCON semi-final defeat to Morocco on Wednesday.

Osimhen labelled Laryea’s officiating as ‘bad’ after Morocco defeated Nigeria 4-2 on penalties after a goalless draw.

“The game was nothing to write home about in terms of the officiating; it was that bad,” the Galatasaray attacker said at his pre-match interview at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.

“I have to say a very big congratulations to the Moroccans, and also I am proud of my team for the kind of fight we put up against a very good quality side,” he said.

Osimhen will now hope to lead Nigeria to victory when they face Egypt in the AFCON third-place final on Saturday.
