Super Eagles' defender, Efe Ambrose has said he was surprised at being given the red card in the Africa Cup of Nations encounter against the Stallions of Burkina Faso.
.
Ambrose was sent off in the encounter that ended one goal apiece for a second yellow card offense by the Algerian referee, Mohammed Benouza.
.
The Celtic strongman will miss the crucial Group C tie against AFCON holders, Chipolopolo of Zambia in Nelspruit on Friday.
.
Ambrose said even the yellow card he received was a first tackle which he did not deserve to be given (Keshi is at fault sha...He should have substituted you on time).
l hope the Eagles would be cautions of fouls in the next game. The red card came as a surprise to loads of Nigerians.
He totally deserved the card. He should've avoided a first yellow in the first place.He played wrecklessly
Good he will miss our next game with Zambia. He dissappointed a lot of Nigerians
