That was NEVER a penalty
The first contact with the ball was his hand. Hands not in natural position

Rules are rules

I really feel sorry for Nwabali.
From being the starboy at the last AFCON to this. huh
Too sharp a decline.
I really pray he bounces back.

Congratulations to the Super Eagles of Nigeria. We did it again.
Congratulations Nigeria 🇳🇬

MadPolitician:
Nwabali did nothing wrong today. His time wasting antics were on point. So you just want to play or do you want to win? He was not at fault for the penalty so I don't know why you guys are mad at him. The defenders should have dealt with the 1st goal. In all the Eagles played well most of the time today.
Me too, I didn't see anything seriously wrong about his performance in keeping, aside character

Nairaland good of you. At least you kept the comments abreast, even when NEPA no give light, Nairaland comments go make one alive. Thanks and good night. Up Super Eagle and up Nigeria.

Considering that he jumped, his hands were in the natural position. Where else did you want his hands to be when he jumped?. Did he intentionally touch the ball? Was the ball goal bound when he touched it? These are the things you consider before calling it a penalty

Okoye was ready, but when they constantly bench him, what do you expect him to do
This is national team they wont just hand it over, u have to keep showing up. Take Germany as example, Neuer and the Tes Tergen, he has to be patient and when the opportunity comes he can claim back his spot
Re: Nigeria Vs Tunisia: AFCON 2025 (3 - 2) On 27th December 2025 by Banbanna(m): 12:42am On Dec 28, 2025
I thought the same thing too. The ball bounced off the Tunisian unto Osayi's hand.
Some penalties these days are just ridiculous, makes one want to hate football.
That Ref dey fear those terroristic NotAfricans 😁😆.Hence had to give them the pen to spare himself.
tolurx:
That shouldn't have been a penalty. The officials just bowed to the pressure from the crowd. Its absolute rubbish.

So head to arm is now a penalty even when the ball was not goal bound

I don't know what kind of coach would remove the engine of the team for a winger? You don't remove Onyeka. He is the engine of that mid field and defence. Instead, remove Lukman for a defender instead. He is not a coach at all. Our local coaches would not make this blunders.
Have you forgotten that it is our local coaches that made us not qualify for World Cup? It was finidi and Eguavon who were handling the team first at the initial stage of the qualification. Almost all the matches played then were either loses or draws

I hope the coach now knows that leading 3-1 and substituting off Onyeka is suicidal. If anything, that iwobi boy should be the one they rotate for someone else. Without Onyeka backing up Ndidi, that midfield would fall apart.

A draw against Uganda and we'll be in the next round. The coach should rest our important players for the next game.
Qualified already. The next match will decide if we will qualify as group leaders which is quite important

What of the 20 goalkeepers in the Nigerian professional football league. Is our local league that bad?

because of H2H rule, we will qualify as the top team no matter the outcome of the matches.

Based on head to head rule, We're now top of group C. If Tunisia wins their they will be 6 points with Nigeria

Now I see the reason why no team in Europe wants Nwabali . Why is he always jittery ? Omo!
Immediately after the last nations cup when everyone was hailing him. I said it loud and clear that this guy can't get an elite club in Europe, bcus he's too big and heavy.
I haven't seen a European top goalkeeper like that

As I was reading your message, I wanted to applaud you, but then you had to bring in Europe top league.

So you think Nigeria doesn’t have good goalkeeper in the country?

Where did Enyeama come from?
How about giving this position to locally scouted goalkeepers?

There’s also one goalkeeper tnf rim local league who had similar charisma like Enyeama. Ezenwa or something

I am sure Nwabali legit weighs 130kg minimum..what do you expect? A very average epl goalkeeper won't allow that ball in

They outplayed yet conceded 2 goals. Would have even conceded more than 5 goals but for the inexperience of the Tunisian strikers. You probably should go study how football works. It's not by passing aimlessly. Even 20mins lapse of concentration can cost a team. Ask Arsenal. Consistency in all departments is key.
And like I highlighted to you, we don't have a DEFENCE and GOALKEEPER. More clinical teams would have fried this Nigerian team even with your so called possession. Like someone else pointed out, the only way is to hope the strikers score more goals than the basket defence and goal keeper concedes. Go and learn how to properly read and analyze matches, that way you'd be able to predict a team's performance in the long term.
I don't need to argue with Nairaland 'sports analyst' to know whether a team played well or not especially for a game I watched myself.
Maybe you think the Tunisians are in Morroco to joke around.
At a time, you were leading a team that were 3 up in the first half of their first game in this Afcon compared to you that struggled to win your first match.
Any sincere person will tell you that it's been long we saw this kind of performance from the SE.

You are entitled to your opinion, so am I entitled to mine also.
