"I understand when someone makes mistakes, but there are certain mistakes that ate not acceptable. It is very bad and I want CAF to talk to the referees." he told the press.

Ghana will face Nigeria on Thursday in their final Group A match.

Isiaka Olawale, the Captain Sand Super Eagles, says the team’s next match against Ghana is “a must win“.
