This Saturday evening, Nigeria and Tunisia face off in what is the clash of Group C at the AFCON.

A match that the Nigerians were dominating from start to finish thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen (44') and Wilfried Ndidi (49').

However, a real turning point happened just before the hour mark. As Mohamed Ben Romdhane was racing alone towards goal, the Tunisian midfielder was brought down by the Super Eagles' goalkeeper.

But no foul was called in favor of the Carthage Eagles, despite Ben Romdhane's injury following this brutal tackle.

The reason? The referee had blown for a foul a few seconds earlier after a tackle from behind on Hannibal Mejbri .

This decision drove the Tunisians mad with rage, as they could have benefited from a red card for the Nigerian goalkeeper. The scenario was all the more cruel as Ademola Lookman scored the 3-0 goal just a few minutes later.

In your opinion, should the referee have played the advantage?
