‘Go and interview the referee’ - Akor Adams expresses frustration towards officiating of Ghanian official

Adams, who played 98 minutes at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah in Rabat, struggled to find his rhythm as the Moroccan defence effectively contained him throughout the match. 

He was largely a peripheral figure, unable to make a significant impact on the game, as the Super Eagles later lost on a penalty shootout.

The loss against Morocco ended their chances of winning a major silverware, adding to the disappointment of missing out on the FIFA World Cup.

The striker's performance was overshadowed by controversy surrounding the refereeing of the game. 

Ghanaian official Daniel Laryea made a series of contentious decisions that drew visible frustration from the Nigerian team and coaching staff. 

When approached by reporters in the mixed zone after the game, a clearly disappointed Adams curtly dismissed questions about the team's performance, retorting, "Go and interview the referee."

While referee Daniel Laryea's performance was far from perfect, attributing the Super Eagles' loss solely to his decisions would be an oversimplification. 

Nigeria's fate was sealed in the shootout after a poorly taken penalty from Samuel Chukwueze and a saved attempt from Bruno Onyemaechi proved decisive. 

While the quality of officiating in high-stakes matches remains a concern for CAF to address, the Super Eagles' inability to convert their chances from the spot was the direct cause of their elimination.
