Algerian Benouza To Handle Ghana-Zambia Nations Cup Tie

Benouza Mohammed has been appointed the center referee to handle Ghana�s crunch Nations Cup semi final tie with Zambia. The Algerian referee will be assisted by Moroccan Achik Redhouane, Burundian Birumushahu Jean-Claude with Djameil Haimdoui of Algeria serving as the fourth official. Benouza, 49 was the same official who rightly sent off defender John Mensah for a professional foul on Peter Odemwingie in the 2008 Nations Cup quarter final tie between Ghana and Nigeria. The Black Stars aiming to win its fifth African title after a staggering 30-year wait must beat the Chipolpolo on Wednesday to ensure the continuation of this ambition.
