Majeed Ashimeru's equaliser came in the first half of the game which got many Ghanaians in the stadium and in Ghana jubilating.

However, that excitement was shortlived when the main referee officiating the match Jean Jacques Ndala Ngambo checked the VAR and ruled it off as an offside.

In that moment, Shatta Wale who was watching the game in his plush living room, was taken aback and began to lash out at the referee for not allowing the goal.

The Bulletproof hitmaker expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee's decision in the video that has since gone viral on social media.

Below is the video of Shatta Wale's reaction when Ashimeru's goal was disallowed by the Congolese referee.
