Yeah the pk was harsh but the game was a more or less like a friendly, if it was a deciding match, yes I will agree with u that that ref is in trouble.

Friendly or not, that was the most controversial and soft penalty I have seen in my entire life. African referees have been known to be the most biased when it comes to officiating football games. That's why FIFA hardly pick African referees to officiate in the world cups because they are usually incompetent. Senegal might not have qualified for Russia, if FIFA didn't reschedule their match with South Africa because of the bad officiating in the first match. Nigeria would have qualified with a 100% record, but for the two dubious penalties awarded against them in Cameroon and Algeria.
