Kingsley Sokari Labels Referee Spoilsport Following Champions League Loss To Smouha

Enyimba&rsquo;s Kingsley Sokari has cried foul over the officiating in the CAF Champions League tie away to Smouha SC on Sunday, saying the referee orchestrated his side&rsquo;s exit from the premium club competition in Africa.<br /><br />The attacking midfielder took the walk of shame in the second half, but has maintained his innocence, saying he was wrongly cautioned in the first half. <br /><br />&ldquo;I will say the referee killed the game, he did not allow us play, &rdquo; said Kingsley Sokari to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />&ldquo;Their first goal wasn&rsquo;t a penalty, it was manufactured by the referee. As for the second goal, the player used his hand in his attempt to chest the ball before he scored.<br /><br />&ldquo;If we continue playing that game for the next two weeks, no way we will win the game because of the referee.<br /><br />&ldquo;The first yellow card issued to me was not deserved but the second one was fair. I&rsquo;ll say he wanted to give them room to play.&rdquo;<br /><br />The Enyimba number 10 linked up with Nigeria&rsquo;s Olympic National Team on Monday afternoon but did not train with the squad.<br />
