I not only provide lineups/goalscorers/etc, but I also try to add anecdotes, facts and trivia pertaining to the match in question.

That Nigeria's penalty on the crossbar was a clear goal

[@selemanikisalo5060]

Agreed

[@AlexFutbolero]

With the VAR currently will be a goal

[@austinnwachukwu3180]

Even kanu's penalty would have been replayed if it was taken this time because the goal keeper came out of his line to catch the ball.

[@kingkuuntaa3885]

I read people saying if the goal-line technology was there at that time or if the var was there... well if olf those things were invented before I guess Cameroon would have won the world cup in 1990. So let's all be nostalgic for these old good memories. With the IF, we could rewrite the course of time.

[@sunnytex3710]

It was indeed a goal. Nothing like if. The goal was clear. But the kicker could not celebrate and protest. With the help of video pause the goal could have been given.. but the kicker cause it.

[@youngerudit2524]

@@sunnytex3710 ok so first of all had the penalty been accorded, we would be tied and it would've kept going, its not like Nigeria would've won because of that so stop crying, you kids are 0-3 against us in Afcon finals, this doesn't change anything. And we got 5 stars on our jerseys.

That penalty kick by Kanu should have been retake bcoz of the keeper's movement

[@innocentkiprop7815]

Exactly

[@gumzbenjamin85]

All Nigerian penalties should be retaken

[@mxm7891]

At the time the law didn’t require you to stay on your line, bc the Nigerian keeper did the same🤪 all love to my naija brothers tho❤️

We're goal keepers allowed to come off the line for penalties before the ball is kicked back then? That's what the Cameroon keeper did against Kanu

@@youngerudit2524 all your supposed wins against Nigeria in AFCON finals have been controversial (Issa Hayatou was CAN president and wad from Cameroon so it made sense), in all our meetings when the conditions were fair, we've beaten you more and proved our supremacy on the pitch.

@@brightokechukwu4886Issa Hayatou was president from 1988-2017. Before he got nominated we went on an unprecedented 3 afcon finals in a row, winning two against migeria and losing one. Went on to have the then best African performance at the World Cup, was that Hayatous doing too? Stop being foolish and talking nonsense out of emotion. Nigeria is a team of flops and bottlers, i guess Hayatou is also to blame for you nigerias record 7 finals, 4 losses, 3 vs Cameroon, with an unprecedented number of 3rd place medals.

The field was not up to standard, it troubled the Cameroonian goalkeeper from simple shots he could have saved

[@magnetmac1]

The scoreline was 2-2. Two Nigerian goals were very good. So what "simple" shots did the Cameroonian goalie failed to save because of bad football field?

[@nelsonoghenekaroomoyibo270]

The field was only bad for Cameroonian goalie?

[@douglas_costa10]

Babangida ps1 👍

[@emmanuelkouakou877]

Le Nigeria s'est fait voler par le Cameroun. Le penalty de Ipkeba ou Banbanguida était clairement un but. Zidane a marqué ce même genre de penalty en finale de CDM face à l'Italie. C'est de la triche.

[@mxm7891]
