While the two incidents highlighted above are still fresh in memory of the football fans, another controversy erupted in Garoua where Egypt, who lost their first group match to the Super Eagles of Nigeria, were on the verge of losing two points in their second game against Guinea-Bissau at the Roumdé Adjia Stadium in Garoua. The Egyptians won the match 1-0 in controversial fashion after a late equaliser from Guinea-Bissau was chalked off by a video assistant referee review.
The excitement of the round leather game is not entirely dependent on goals but as every ardent football fan will admit, there is no shortage of excitement and rush of adrenaline when goals are involved. Not just one, but multiple goals that leave supporters at the edge of their seats, biting their fingers, mimicking striking opportunities with air kicks and holding their hands to their heads at missed chances or letting go of all inhibitions in celebrating goals scored.
A total of 64 goals in 36 matches played in the group stage of Cameroon’s AFCON, average two goals per match with Cameroonian captain Vincent Aboubakar leading the goal chart with five goals after three rounds of matches.The technology has been applied accordingly from the very first match as reflected in the pair of penalties that Aboubakar netted against Burkina Faso. Both times, the referee consulted with the VAR team and, arguably, made the right call.
