The AFCON final referee well and truly put Mohamed Salah in his place after comically offering him his cards and whistle following multiple complaints made by the Egypt star.

Mohamed Salah was brutally shut down by referee Victor Gomes during the Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday.

The South African official sarcastically tried to hand Salah his cards and his whistle, as if to say 'would you like to ref the game, pal?', following a series of complaints made by the Egyptian.

The Liverpool man had been in the referee's ever since the fourth minute when he took issue with his decision to award Senegal an early penalty.
Luckily for the Egyptians, goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal saved Sadio Mane's spot-kick.
But persistent whinging, from both sides, didn't let up and after half an hour Gomes was forced to put his foot down with Salah.

Selfish and greedy player

selfish...and he has one of the highest number of assists in the epl and have been leading in that charts since 2-3 years

That Salah too complain, even when the ref was trying his best to be jovial, and also make the game balance for the two teams

Now One certain Nairalander from somewhere will create a thread and be like.

"Ten things to learn from Senegal".
1. Don't give up on your dreams
2. Bla bla bla

A new meme we have here

Wahala.

Not luck I guess faith because Senegal were unlucky they would have won the game by nothing less than 3 goals

paulolee:

Egypt n sallah needed the win too...luck n faith was on the side of the Senegalese..

E reach to ask now.

When you go de disturb ref anyhow na to commot whistle and card give you make you continue to blow and officiate the match

Naija and cruise

A Nairalander said, If not for that call, Nigeria would have been the Champion.

He thought we are in liverpool

Senegal won, dats what we all wanted

paulolee:

Egypt n sallah needed the win too...luck n faith was on the side of the Senegalese..

What do you mean by "luck and faith " was on the side of Senegal ?

Senegal were the better team from the get go,and Egypt were the lucky side,within 90 mins and extra time.
Senegal wanted it more,the stats showed that,and despite being wasteful,they still won the cup.
They deserve the trophy,and you should acknowledge that, rather than trying to belittle their effort and hardwork with your "luck and faith" gimmick.

Congrats to Senegal,I am happy they won their first afcon. But assuming Egypt won,it would have boosted salah's chance of winning balloon dor as he is performing well in epl and cl...

That ref was very incompetent

WELCOME TO AFRICA ..... WHERE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE .....LIKE I BE SALAH ...I FOR COLLECR THE WHISTLE AND THE CARD THEN ...PULL MY JERSEY GIVE AM .... TO PLAY FOR EGYPT. ... LAST LAST I WILL GIVE THE REF DOUBLE YELLOW CARD ... BEFORE SHOWING HIM RED!!!!! AND AWARD EGYPT FOR PENALTIES.

Congrats to Senegal. Hopefully Nigeria wins the next edition.

Congratulations to Senegal the city of Teranga
