After the second final whistle, both teams left the pitch. Not long after, mali returned to the pitch, seemingly intending to make up for the ten seconds that had not been completed, but the angry Tunisian team did not return.

That's the end of the race.

Tunisia coach Kebayr said: "We don't want to resume because the players have already bathed and in the face of this terrible situation, their spirits are no longer able to concentrate and their morale is low. ”

Mali's victory in this game puts them at the top of Group F.

It is reported that the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations Football Tournament (Africa Cup of Nations) kicked off in Cameroon on January 9, local time. On the same day, data released by the African Center for Disease Control showed that the cumulative number of confirmed cases of covid-19 in Africa exceeded 10 million. This makes this Year's African football feast, which has been postponed for a year, still under the haze of the epidemic. The host, Cameroon, held the competition as scheduled during the COVID-19 epidemic and also faced double pressures in terms of epidemic prevention and finance.
