This is absurd! Why would CAF celebrate a victory of one of its member teams over another? It’s unfair!
It was a historic win not ordinary win. It is a record that may not be truncated in our life time.
Ako Amadi since 1959 there haven’t been a team has recorded ten goals in African football, this a marvelous thing has happened in African and World football, so CAF ought to celeberate with this event.
