'Blaming Akpeyi is unwarranted ' – Akinroyeje won't accept criticism of Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper

The stopper believes the Nigeria international is not responsible for Amakhosi’s defeat to the Red Devils at the Mohamed V Stadium

Former Sunshine Stars goalkeeper Olumide Akinroyeje made it clear he will not accept anyone blaming Daniel Akpeyi for Kaizer Chiefs’ Caf Champions League defeat to Al Ahly.

Playing in the tournament’s final for the first time in their history, Stuart Baxter’s men were silenced 3-0 at the Mohamed V Stadium in Casablanca.

The turning point of the encounter was Happy Mashiane’s dismissal on the stroke of half-time for his dangerous challenge on Tawfik Akram.
