So, wetin happen? Di match no get goal for regulation time, e be like say dem dey play chess for pitch. Na only empty net wey dem dey look but no be so naija people dey use to win!
After dem play extra time, penalty showdown come start. Morocco first take dem penalty, and na wetin dem do wey make dem hala for joy. El Aynaoui, Ben Seghir, Hakimi, En-Nesyri all jam goal for dia kicks. Abeg, Nigeria no fit allow dem shine well!
But no be say Nigeria no try o! Onuachu manage hit ground for Nigeria, but we no fit forget say Chukwueze and Onyemaechi no make dia kicks count. Na wah! Di goalkeeping magic from Igamane make e hard for dem!
Omo, when look at di match, even for di extra time, e no be all sweet for Nigeria. Bassey dey act like e be brick wall, but me I dey reason say di pressure from Morocco no be small.
As di match dey go, coach Chelle dey try manage things, but di boys just dey tire. Dem think say na party dem dey come join, regality for field no let dem settle well. Him change Osimhen come put Onuachu, but still na wa for dia!
