A remarkable moment occurred in the match between Nigeria and Mozambique in the last 16 rounds of the African Cup. In one part of the match, Victor Osimhen could not control his anger after a situation and walked towards his teammate Ademola Lookman. Although this tension on the field was calmed down in a short time, its repercussions carried over to the stands and social media.
CRITICISM AND SUPPORT TO OSIMHEN FROM FANS
While Nigerian fans who filled the stands during the match whistled Osimhen, Osimhen’s attitude was criticized on social media.
Nigerian fans commented under the videos containing this moment, “Osimhen is shouting at everyone on the field”, “Lookman is everywhere on the field and plays better than you”, “It is impossible to understand Osimhen’s attitude”.
On the other hand, some fans found Osimhen right and made comments such as “I don’t blame him, Lookman should have passed the ball” and “Osimhen is right to be angry. Lookman was selfish and did not pass.”
