Ahmed Musa protests disallowed goal

Ahmed Musa has said his goal for CSKA Moscow against Manchester City in the UEFA  Champions League on Wednesday should not have been disallowed.

Musa scored a goal in the 80th minute when he unleashed an absolute screamer from the edge of the box into the top corner of the net after he received a ball from Japan star Honda.

However, the referee overruled this effort because he believed a high foot had nearly connected with Yaya Toure’s head who tried to clear but missed it.

“To me it was a good goal, I would have loved to see it stand because it would have given us a point from the game, but the referee felt otherwise, he has the final say,” Musa told MTNFootball.com 

Sergio Aguero scored a brace for Manchester City, while Tosic scored CSKA Moscow’s consolation goal.

CSKA are now third in the standings in Group D with three points behind Bayern Munich and Manchester City, who are on nine points and six points, respectively.

 Musa, a 50th minute substitute for Steven Zuber, said he was disappointed with the 2-1 loss to City at home on Wednesday.

“I was not happy that we lost the game, but that is football. We look forward to a positive result in the next game,” he said.

CSKA Moscow next game in the competition is away to Manchester City on  November 5
