Eric Chelle claims DR Congo players performed ritual acts during a decisive penalty shoot-out
The head coach of the Nigerian national football team has accused the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) of using “voodoo” during the penalty shoot-out that eliminated his side from World Cup contention.
On Sunday, the DR Congo secured a place in March’s six-team inter-confederation playoffs after beating Nigeria 4-3 on penalties, following a 1-1 draw in the CAF playoff final in Rabat, Morocco.
After Chancel Mbemba converted the decisive spot-kick, Nigerian head coach Eric Chelle confronted DR Congo coach Sebastien Desabre and members of his staff, prompting a brief altercation on the touchline.
Speaking afterwards, Chelle claimed that Congolese players engaged in ritual activity throughout the shoot-out.
