Africa Cup of Nations Farce: 89 Minutes whistle blow by the referee! The players had already taken a shower and were asked to make up for the kick, tunisia was no longer waiting

The Africa Cup of Nations is in full swing, the first round of tunisia vs Mali has not yet reached 85 minutes, the referee directly blew the final whistle!

The referee is Janny Sikazwe from Zambia, who has played the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final between Cameroon and Egypt, the 2016 Club World Cup final and two 2018 World Cup matches. He was also considered a candidate for the 2022 World Cup, awarding 2 penalties and 1 red card in the second half of the match, and even more incredibly, the end whistle of the match was directly blown in the 85th minute of the match. The referee then looked at the watch and realized his mistake, and the referee resumed the game, but when the game reached 89 and a half minutes, the referee again blew the end whistle of the game.

In the second half, the referee awarded 2 penalties, and also went to the sidelines to see VAR 3 times, not only did not make up time but also ended the game before 90 minutes, which caused great dissatisfaction from the Tunisian team!

At the post-match press conference, the Mali boss's speech was interrupted by African Cup of Nations officials, who said that there would be a 3-minute extra-time match, asking Tunisian and Mali players to return to the stadium to play the last 3 minutes.

The referee and the Malian players have then returned to the pitch, but the Tunisian players have been missing for a long time. Due to Tunisia's refusal to play, the match was finally officially over, and Tunisia was sentenced to lose 0:1.
