Super Eagles Crash Out as DR Congo Win on Penalties Amid Ritual Allegations.

Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle, has alleged that an official of the Democratic Republic of Congo engaged in voodoo rituals in the course of the penalty shootout of yesterday’s CAF World Cup qualifying playoff final.

The Super Eagles hopes ended after they lost 4-3 on penalties to DR Congo. Meanwhile, the aftermath of the tie was followed by tense scenes on the touchline, with Chelle visibly angry as both benches went at each other after Chancel Mbemba, converted the decisive kick.

Chelle explained that he was angered after noticing a DR Congo official making suspicious hand movements and pouring an unknown substance believed to be voodoo whenever a Super Eagles player was about to take his kick.
