In the second half of the match, the Ifeanyi Uba shot stopper and the FC Porto striker were seen having an altercation and the referee came between them.
“What happened was that I normally carry my rosary around because I’m a Catholic. I loved carrying my rosary around and it didn’t just start today. I have been carrying my rosary to games since my junior national team days. I dropped the rosary inside the net and Aboubakar picked it up and threw it away. I got angry and told him that if he knew the meaning of rosary he wouldn’t have thrown it away like that,” Ezenwa told Complete Sports.
