Super Eagles defender, Tyronne Ebuehi, has admitted that he knew he had conceded a penalty against Iceland, even before the referee consulted the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).


Ebuehi, who was making his competitive debut for Nigeria, also spoke of his happiness at playing at the 2018 World Cup.

“It was a nice feeling coming on.


“I was comfortable playing there as I have played in that role a few times for my club so it is nothing new. To be honest I will play in any position for my country at the World Cup.”

On the penalty, he added: “I knew it was a penalty even before the referee went to check the VAR. I arrived late and caught the Iceland forward but thankfully they missed”.



Everton midfielder, Gylfi Sigurdsson, eventually blasted the spot-kick over the bar.

Nobody gave Ebuehi any credit and I’m mad about it! He changed the game. Technically, man of the match for me was Tyrone Ebuehi from the left flank. He bullied Iceland wt quick counter attack runs.

This reaction of Ebuehi after Sigurdsson lost the penalty is just so Priceless , Innocent and Passionate—-

Such a horrible debutant

In all 3 point was certain,"Ope ni fun Oluwa"

How was it horrible? Because he gave away a PK? Omeruo was even at fault for giving him such a pass.
He might be a bit inexperienced but he has flair, pace, defends and attacks well. He is good on the wings. Our game changed when he came on against England and Iceland. He did great yesterday..

Nigeria must beat Argentina and qualify is all i'm after. Messi to cry.

Even though Musa scored the goals, the man of the match is Kenneth Omeruo. The stood tall in the defense.
