"IDRISSA GUEYE!!!"
"IDRISSA GUEYE!!!"
"IDRISSA GUEYE!!!"
"What a player, what a moment!"
"He's been buzzing all game, the driving heart of Senegal's midfield tonight and he's popped up with the all-important clutch goal!"
"Who saw this coming?!"
"No one!"
"Senegal is ahead, 2-1!"
"Bonkers! Absolute cinema at the Complexe Sportif Prince Moulay Abdellah!"
"Now, this is football!"
"Peak!"
45 minutes plus 2 minute of additional time, 2-1…
Just like that, from 0-1 up, Nigeria started trailing in this game, and then…
FWEEEE!
The referee blew his whistle for half-time.
The Nigerian players walked down the tunnel to their dressing room feeling like they just let up a big opportunity.
How did this happen? Just how?!
They honestly had no idea.
In the dressing room, Eric Chelle, the Nigerian coach paced up and down, the tension and proceedings of the game having gotten to him too.
