Kenyan official Peter Waweru Kamaku had fans on Twitter in stitches for his mad sprinting and hand gestures. Referencing Tom Hanks' 1994 movie classic Forrest Gump, one wrote: "Run Forrest run."
Another joked: "This man is running like he's chasing a taxi."
One added: "Is that Tom cruise in mission impossible."
Reacting to Waweru blew the final whistle, a fan posted: "What a dramatic referee!"
Goals from forward Umar Sadiq and defender William Troost-Ekong saw Nigeria qualify from their group with three wins and all nine points.
But Waweru's refereeing clearly had a lasting impact on fans watching the game.
Off the field, according to Wikipedia, the official graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science in university.
That was before also achieving a master of Science in Pure Mathematics.
Since 2019, Waweru has served as a senior lecturer at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
But in 2011 he started refereeing and by 2017 was listed as a Fifa official.
