NEWS DIGEST -Highly respected Turkish referee, Cuneyt Cakir who took charge of proceedings at Saint Petersburg for Nigeria’s clash against Argentina, was at the centre of controversy after making a big call to deny Nigeria a penalty in the 76th minute of the absorbing contest.

The Super Eagles had earlier benefitted from his benevolence when the whistleblower awarded a soft penalty after Javier Mascherano wrestled down Leon Balogun in the box. Victor Moses dispatched the resulting spot-kick, sending Argentine shot-stopper, Armani the wrong way to restore parity in the contest.
