Nigerian footballer Ndidi fell in the tunnel before the match: video of the funny fall.

As he was exiting the team, he appeared to lose his balance and fell to the floor.

The shock from the fall of his teammate, particularly Moses Simon, who also stumbled trying to avoid colliding with Ndidi, was not easy for those around.

Fulham player Alex Iwobi, who was following them, managed to avoid a similar fate.

After the incident, Iwobi looked more troubled than amused.

However, the quick recovery of Ndidi and Simon, who smiled, eventually brought a smile to him as well.

Fans could not hold back their laughter at the unusual incident. One of them wrote on X:

“Cartoon a** fall”

Another fan of the Super Eagles joked:

“Ndidi and Simon done Dey slip for tunnel and match never even start… ohh God.”

The third added:

“That sums up our game so far, we have been all over the place for real.”

South Africa opened the scoring in the match thanks to an own goal by William Troost-Ekong, but Nigeria managed to equalize 20 minutes later thanks to another Fulham player, Calvin Bassey.

Ndidi's Career

Ndidi has been known on the football field for eight years in the Premier League.

He joined Leicester from Genk in 2015 and became one of the league's most recognized defensive midfielders.

However, his form has declined over time along with the overall decline of Leicester.

Ndidi signed an extension at the end of the 2023/24 season but was sold to Turkish giant Beşiktaş for around 8 million pounds over the summer.
