AFCON 2025 qualifier: Nwabali trolls Libya over time-wasting antics

Super Eagles Stanley Nwabali has trolled the Mediterranean Knights of Libya for their time-wasting antics.

Nasser Al-Hadiri’s side frustrated the Super Eagles by feigning fouls on different occasions during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo on Friday.

Nigeria won the game 1-0 with Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru netting the decisive goal four minutes from time.

Commenting on the time wasting tactics used by the Libyans, Nwabali wrote in pidgin with a laughing emoji on his X handle: “Who come wise pass?” This translates to mean, ‘Who is the wiser person now?’, referring to how the Libyans tried to play smart by wasting time.

Libya will host the Super Eagles in a matchday four encounter in Benina next week Tuesday.

A win in the game will see the Super Eagles seal a place at the AFCON 2025 finals which will be hosted by Morocco.
