AFCON: Controversy as Mali beat Tunisia 1-0, ref ends match at 89th minute

Carthage Eagles coach Mondher Kebaier and his technical staff rushed onto the field at full-time after referee Janny Sikazwe failed to add any injury time.

The second half saw two stoppages for video assistant referee checks, as well as a drinks break.

Ibrahima Kone’s penalty won it, with Mali keeper Ibrahim Mounkoro later saving a spot-kick from Wahbi Khazri.

There had already been confusion in the Limbe Stadium as Sikazwe had appeared to blow his full-time whistle with five minutes remaining.
