[ad_1]
There were bizarre scenes at the end of Mali’s 1-0 Afcon win over Tunisia as the referee prematurely called the game.
In scenes that were barely believable, Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe fist blew the full time whistle after just 85 minutes had elapsed in the Afcon clash between Mali and Tunisia. He then restarted the game before eventually calling full time before 90 minutes had elapsed, while there was no stoppage time at all.
