Former Arsenal star, Nwankwo Kanu, on Thursday night, insisted that ‘penalty is penalty’ after Nigeria’s Super Eagles were defeated by Morocco in the AFCON semi-final tie on Wednesday.
Kanu, who was at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat supporting Eric Chelle’s side against the Atlas Lions, said the Super Eagles fought a good fight against the host nation.
Recall that Nigeria lost to Morocco 4-2 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in the semi-final last-4 encounter.
The likes of Samuel Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemaechi failed to convert their penalty kicks as Nigeria lost to Morocco.
“Always good to see the Professor Arsene Wenger,” Kanu posted alongside a picture of himself with his former coach Arsene Wenger at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, Rabat.
“Penalty is Penalty. Big up Super Eagles. You fought a good fight.
