Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: I was denied a penalty against Equatorial Guinea – Samatta

The Belgium-based striker claims he was denied a clear penalty during their Group J opener played at National Stadium

Tanzanian skipper Mbwana Samatta has blamed match officials for denying him a clear penalty against Equatorial Guinea in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Taifa Stars produced another impressive comeback in the second half of their Group J match after scoring two goals to shrug off a 1-0 lead, which was enjoyed by the visitors throughout the first half.

It was Simon Msuva whose solo effort saw him netting an equaliser in the 68th minute to level matters, after the former West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang’s 15th-minute long-range strike gave the National Thunders an early lead.
