The African Cup Of Nations kickoff in a grand style. Note that the opening ceremony caught much attention, but the game didn’t start well for the host nation. Note that the Host Nation, Cameroon, dictated the flow of the game, but Burkina Faso scored 24th minute. Well, just before half-time, Aboubakar scored two goals from the penalty spot to give Cameroon the lead.

However, the main highlights point of the first 45 minutes of the game was the physicality of the game, Cameroon’s possession, and Burkina Faso’s first-half poor defending, but this article will center on one wrong decision the referee made in the first minute of the game. Take a look!
1. The Decision To Show Steeve Yago A Yellow Card Instead of A Red For A Tackle On Collins Fai.

Note that Yago was nowhere near the ball, and his right boot caught Fai. Normally, when you don’t get the ball, and the tackle is deemed dangerous, then a red card should have been shown. Also, note that this tackle could have sent Fai out of the tournament because it was his boot was very high.
