It was ball to hand at close range, and Semi's arm was in a somewhat natural position by his movement, not that he raised his arm when the ball was approaching him.

Besides, we were also denied a goal in the first half, when Bassey's cross crossed the line at the far post. Goal line technology would have decided that easily. CAF needs to have that in place for this important competition.

Finally, the stat cleared all doubts. Come on! Nigeria outclassed and outplayed the Foxes, who recorded 0 shots on target.

Although our boy put in their very best, but the truth must be said, the officiating was slightly on our side. Most of the Algeria players were somehow frustrated with the poor officiating. Nevertheless kudo to the super Eagles of Nigeria.

Seems you don't know this North Africans. The moment a football match isn't going in their favor, that's when you see them making noise about been cheated but in reality they are at the top when it comes to cheating.

They fall anyhow in football matches as if they are not meant to be tackled. Always looking for cheap fouls and refree favour. Mtchewwwe

The truth must be told the officiating really favoured Nigeria today

Indeed a lot of things happened that favoured us but the last people to complain are North Africans.

From bad treatment of teams to laser lights to outright ref favouritism, they need to mechionu.

Which yeye officiating favored Nigeria, hand ball that is not intentional looking at the player involved, and the hand not close to the body of the player is not regarded as hand ball. Shekena !!

The Algerians should not cry.
They will get their pound of flesh when Morocco beat Nigeria.
And that's because the referee will favour Morocco.
So let's wait and see.

We should have scored 5 goals,
Algerians no better pass is in football,
I watched their game and was disappointed,
I bet draw but lost, but still won cos I am a Nigerian

I actually thought that was a very clear penalty against nigeria most referees in Europe would have given it.

🇩🇿🇳🇬 I don’t want to hear anyone talk about North African teams cheating .. it might apply for one team but certainly doesn’t apply to Algeria

A clear handball and penalty not called by the referee or the VAR.

And no it was not outside the box.

It is too late to cry when the head is off.

Nigeria cruising to the semi final while Algeria is cruising back to Algiers on tricycle........ Ko kan aye........

That definitely wasn't a penalty, most is a free kick. Its on the line and not over the line into the box 18.

Dude definitely knows nothing about football or it's rules.

Cry me a river infact add am Atlantic ocean !

Their passes skill is very poor, had it been they got it right, they would have defeated super eagles or end in draw

What truth...were you watching the match from the back of your TV?...What about that Nigerian goal that crossed the line but wasn't given? Do you also know that one or two of the Algerian should have been shown a red card for repeated fouls on Nigerian players? The game was fair...Algerians were outclassed and outplayed

But we scored a goal that crossed the line and it was not allowed

I saw the eagles flying very high above the Algerian team. It was a huge humiliation for the North Africa team. Prior to the match they thought they were loaded, locked and ready to tear the eagles apart but unfortunately they got a shocker.The eagles grab them with smart claws 🦞,flown to the iroko tree branch and got them devoured. I have never seen the eagles played like they did today in recent times. They fired from all cylinders,played with all their hearts and that brought out the best in them. They controlled the match full time and got their opponents punished as they were ruthless in their attacks. The Algerians should humbly accept defeat because if the match is repeated the eagles will still beat them again in the game. Viva Super Eagles.

Looks like ball to hand

Xxxxx

Even if it wasn't, there's no way that's a penalty with the position of the player's feet

dominique:
Ball to hand, almost looks at if the Algerian player deliberately played to our player's hands. Okay if to say got the penalty and the match had ended 2-1, dem commot abi dem no commot?

Football isn't like that o. 2:1 might give them some moral to fight harder for a requalizer

The best team won

flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but the holy spirit.

At a point i was even thinking weda the referee been get beef with algeria before

kai north african countries wey dey cheat and alway dey bias like hell

mascot87:
Na one of the fulls we share a country with be this

you mean f⁰⁰⁰⁰lll, that was a clear ball to hand and seyi was clearly on the line with both legs. Anyways that aside, was that the reason why those Algerians were playing like a loser?

Where have you been? I have been looking for you.

I want us to divert our discussions towards theology.

No be only cheating, na match officials say make una no have single shot on target in 90 minutes. Mtchew

Don't mind 'em.

Do u think if there was goal line technology that the goal Bassey scored could have not been accepted?
Give them the penalty, what will be the score line.
Go and check statistics Nigeria perform better than them.
The should not cry because even All Mighty Mahrez could not make it to the end.

The quality of supper should not be compare with that of Algeria

His arm was in a natural position beside his body and the Algerian player targeted his hand not Ajayi moving his hand toward the direction of the balls flight
All the people saying officiating favoured us, if I may ask how? Were we given penalty or our opponent red carded?
That would have been a harsh penalty if given against us
