Gernot Rohr, the head coach of the Benin Republic, has blasted the refereeing calls in their 4-0 loss to Nigeria in this month’s last 2026 World Cup qualifying match. The choice to permit Victor Osimhen to score two goals in the first half has been questioned by Rohr. He claimed that there had been an infraction in the build-up to the objectives. Additionally, Rohr noted that his squad was the only one in Group C to overcome the Super Eagles. “We only regret giving up the first two goals in the decisive match in Nigeria.” According to Gernot Rohr, these circumstances would have merited a different ruling and would have given us greater fairness, he told CAFonline. We finished the World Cup qualifying tournament with 17 points, which is equal to Nigeria’s total, which is already a huge confidence boost.
