Rwanda Coach Praises Referee’s Decision to Cancel Lookman’s Goal in Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Rwanda’s head coach, Torsten Spittler, expressed support for the Moroccan referee’s decision to cancel Ademola Lookman’s goal during the recent 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The match, held at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, ended in a tense 0-0 draw between Rwanda and Nigeria.

The controversial moment occurred in the 22nd minute when Lookman scored with a header. However, the goal was disallowed by the center referee. Spittler claimed that an infringement had taken place, which led to the decision to annul the goal.

According to Spittler, “There was a foul leading to the goal. The player (Semi Ajayi) heading to the second post pushed our player.” He added that the referee was well-positioned to make the correct call.
