PENALTY APPEAL
Nigeria want a penalty as Ahmed Musa’s cross hits an arm. The referee says no and we have no VAR in the group stages.

But a replay shows it was a shoulder – and next to the body – so even in these crazy handball times, that wouldn’t have been a penalty.

GOAL – Nigeria 1-0 Guinea
Kenneth Omeruo

Moses Simon whips in a good corner, and Kenneth Omeruo glances a header past Ibrahim Kone.

The Super Eagles are heading to six points from two games.
