Ref Twice Blows Final Whistle Before 90 Minutes In Bizarre AFCON Match
LIMBE, Cameroon — Mali completed a 1-0 victory over Tunisia in a controversial Group F game at the Africa Cup of Nations that was ended prematurely by referee Janny Sikazwe, who later tried to play the final four minutes only for the north Africans to refuse.
Zambian Sikazwe, who officiated at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, initially blew for the final whistle on 85 minutes as he got his timekeeping all wrong.
But after playing on, he then repeated the error when he blew for fulltime once more before the clock had ticked over to the 90 minutes.
