Update in 2nd leg.. A referee pushes a doctor aggressively to leave the pitch.

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

The #TotalEnergiesCAFCL 1st leg quarters are over and refereeing scandals are still part of it.. at this high level, no big mistake is forgiven ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS VAR!

We do every possible scandalous act to blacken our football more than it's.

This round only..

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

A lineman held a player from his neck in a very bad manner!

Players held referee's hand trying to stop him from booking them!

Black image as usual and the existence of VAR make it more and more black.

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

It was tough.. very tough.
Alhamdulilah. #TotalEnergiesCAFCL

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Honestly games in these knockout rounds can't be played behind closed doors unless it's a serious issue to ban fans.. CAF shall impose more monetary sanctions to stop flares and other chaos instead of closed doors.

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Although the stadium only packs around 45K!

[Lütfý Ybraýymowiç Berdiwädabekow @LotfiWada]

Raja-Ahly will be played in front of 65 000 fans although the game is almost at midnight.Whether people like it or not,very few places in the world can match the passion of our North African fans for their clubs. #CAFCL

Good counter attack by Petro but it's offside! #TotalEnergiesCAFCL

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

@LotfiWada Alhamdulilah that they didn't use the Algerian UEFA Champions League match balls so far.

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Lovely African football Ramadan nights.. you watch the game while you have sohour for the next day.

Lots of decent African teams won’t be at the World Cup. Algeria, Nigeria, Mali, Egypt…Tanzania!

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Too much crying in the Egyptian media about laser, booing the national anthem, insulting Salah, flares.. etc.

Have you ever criticized the same acts when it was in our favour?! Now the others are against fair play while we the northern were the first to do these acts!

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

@Salih7A I also thought that.

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Tunisian fans in the stands chanting. Fabulous indeed. This Rades sound is always as roaring even if it's not full packed! #WCQ2022

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

@IragiElisha No doubt that North Africans were the first to do all these acts in the continent but what makes me astonished is that Senegalese never were like that.. if it was Kinshasa for example, it wouldn't have been such a surprise.

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

I still can't believe the atmosphere in Dakar yesterday. It wasn't Bilida nor Tunis.. booing the national anthem and every Egyptian player. Laser in the eyes of the players.. flares.. Wondering when did they get this ideology! Only the 1st leg game is the reason?

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Only one prediction correct 🤦
Mali was the biggest upset but it all ended in Bamako by friendly fire.. The rest wasn't a surprise.

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Morocco
Mali
Algeria
Egypt
Nigeria

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

For games of this intense like yesterday, I hope that CAF losers are happy with their flagship knock out games being played in only 2 times without even a pan African broadcaster!

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

I didn't even notice for a while that this last goal sends Cameroon directly.. very very tough.. it's a 4-year preparation ends in this way in just seconds. #WCQ2022

[Ben Arafa @Ibrahim3rafa]

Congrats to Cameroon, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal and Ghana. Make Africa proud. #WCQ2022
