AFCON Chaos As Referee Blows Full-time At 85 And 89 Minutes in Mali's 1-0 Win Over Tunisia

The Zambian official caused controversy as he first blew the full-time whistle in the 85th minute, before again whistling before the 90-minute mark.

Mali's 1-0 win over Tunisia saw referee Janny Sikazwe twice blow his whistle for full-time before the 90th minute in a bizarre and controversial end to the Afcon group-stage clash.

Zambian official Sikazwe initially blew his whistle to indicate the end of the match in the 85h minute, before play resumed after the error only for Sikazwe to again blow before the 90th minute.

The game finished after the second mistake, with around 17 second of normal time still on the clock, sparking outrage from Tunisia's players and coaching staff, who were attempting to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
