Mali secured an important win in their first AFCON clash against Tunisia earlier this afternoon.
Mali’s head coach would be really pleased with the performance of his players especially in the second half.
Kone grabbed the lead for Mali in the 48th minute after finding the back of the net with a cool finish from the penalty spot.
Tunisia improved their performance in the closing stages of the game as they created a couple of good chances. However, Tunisia couldn’t break Mali’s resilient defence.
The major highlight of the game was in the 85th minute when Referee Janny Sikazwe blew the final whistle. It was a really shocking decision as everyone on the pitch was left startled.
The referee continued the game after Tunisia players and coaching staff protested against the decision.
Surprisingly, the referee blew the final whistle again in the 89th minute to conclude the game. This is indeed the most controversial decision in the history of the game.
CAF should probe Janny Sikazwe for his disgraceful decisions during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations fixture between Mali and Tunisia.
The Confederation of African Football needs to take action against Sikazwe to avoid a similar event in the future. The referee should be banned in a bid to send a warning message to other referees in the competition.
