President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has expressed his satisfaction with the officiating of the game between the Super Eagles and Ghana on Friday night, IgbereTV reports
The Eagles played a goalless draw with the Black Stars in Kumasi, leaving the 2022 World Cup playoff in the balance ahead of the second leg in Abuja.
Nigeria thought they had won the game when a penalty was awarded following a handball by Ghanaian player Iddrisu Baba late on, but after a VAR review the decision was overturned.
Pinnick said it was a good call that the referee rescinded his decision, stating that the Eagles would still defeat their opponents when they meet again on Tuesday.
“I think the referee did well. It was a correct call. The Nigerian player pushed Baba Iddrisu and that made him touched the ball,” said Pinnick
