Enyimba’s central defender, Markson Ojobo, has expressed shock at his controversial dismissal during Wednesday’s match day 37 clash at Sunshine Stars.
Ojob was dimissed in the second half during an off-the-ball incident with an assistant referee.
“I can’t explain why the referee sent me out. All I did was to complain that a Sunshine Stars player stepped on me,” Ojobo said to SuperSport.com.
However, it is rumored that Ojobo used abusive language during his conversation with the assistant referee. The former Under-23 international was impresssive for the Elephants before his exit.
Enyimba’s hope of a Nigerian double this term evaporated after goals in each half by Phillip Auta and Ebenezer Odunlami gave Sunshine a well deserved 2-0 victory.
