Yakubu Ayegbeni Criticizes Eric Chelle Over 'Voodoo' Excuse After Nigeria's World Cup Heartbreak
Former Nigerian footballer, Yakubu Ayegbeni, slammed Eric Chelle for attributing Nigeria's World Cup elimination to 'voodoo.' Nigeria suffered a heartbreaking loss to DR Congo in the CAF playoff final held in Rabat, with Chancel Mbemba scoring the decisive penalty. The match saw missed opportunities from Nigerian players like Calvin Bassei, Mose Simon, and Semi Ajayi.
Despite Frank Onyeka initially putting Nigeria ahead, Meschak Elia equalized for DR Congo. This defeat means DR Congo will advance to the next round to compete for a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
