“The referee was against us and helped Nigeria to win” – Ethiopia’s Coach

Coach of Ethiopia’s national team, Sewnet Bishaw, has blamed poor officiating for his side’s defeat to Nigeria.

The Super Eagles defeated the Walya Antelopes 2-1 in Addis Ababa and 2-0 in Calabar and Sewnet is of the opinion that the referee helped the hosts qualify.

“It wasn’t the best of officiate, the referee was against us and helped Nigeria to win,” he said.

In reaction to Bishaw’s comments, Keshi said: “We defeated them in their country, was that the referee’s help too? Ethiopia is a good side but we are just better”.
