The referee in the African Nations Cup game between Tunisia and Mali had to be escorted off the pitch by security after he initially ended the game in the 85th minute, realised his mistake, awarded a red card in the 88th minute and then ended the match in the 89th minute. The usual length of a football match is 90 minutes (+extra time).

Reactions.

More reactions.

Someone that was accused of corruption in football before was allowed to officiate a match. Janny Sikazwe from Zambia

Always making the Blackman and anything organised or led by him the laughing stock of the world.
In other competitions you would see the VAR room with the referees,then play stopped as the TV crew shows replays of the incident being reviewed by VAR.
In this tournament play goes on and the next thing you hear is that VAR decision has been made.
Ball possession stats in the first half of the Nigeria Egypt match that even a blindman hearing the commentary would know would be like Nigeria 65%,Egypt 35%;their own "akpruka" machine stats showed Egypt had more possession!
Even ordinary original footballs they couldn't buy,instead they went to buy ₦500 "fele-fele" football,for a whole Nations cup competition.
If they don't call any black referee for a world cup,you would see everyone accusing FIFA of being racists.
See the embarrassment this one has given this tournament for God's sake.

Damnnn niggarrrr

That refree needs to change his weed supplier

The niggar'z comments above me should calm

Down

Mistakes are also common in epl, laliga seria a, Bundesliga and every other tournament organized by those so called white men

I Watched That Scene From The Match. . . And I Was Pissed Off
.
If You See The Way The Referee Was Just Smiling Sheepishly In His Heart, Feeling Like A god From Olympus.
.
In My Opinion, I Don't Think This Guy Should Ever Officiate In Any Other Match Of This Calibre Again.

All these half-baked graduates referees I mean.

How much dem pay am?

African football
African politics
African Christianity

Everything is just upside down in the dark continent..

Ref has been too low, he was anxious to go get high

Dubious penalty, Dubious Red card, Dubious use of VAR
That referee dey play bet

Werey ended it initially on 85 mins

When you have charlatans in charge...

Heard the players would be called back to complete the game

African referee. That's why they don't go far in their career.

I thought this man from Zambia had been accused before

We're a special creature, you know

Maybe he suddenly remembered he fought his wife over the phone before hitting the pitch and angrily ended the game

Dem no fit do anything for 89mins. So na injury time dem be de wait for. Anyway thank God for VAR. If not referees for de commit wella.
