Contretemps as it related to time-keeping has marred group ‘F’ tie between Tunisia and Mali in the African Cup of Nations on Wednesday, 13th.

The Zambian referee, Janny Sikazwe has been a catalyst for the argle-bargle by blowing final whistle twice, prior to the regular 90-minute full time.

The 43-year-old had incorrectly called for full-time in the 85th minute before another whistle indicating the end of match was blown several seconds before 90 minutes.

According to the media reports:  “The players were taking ice baths for 35 minutes before they were called back out again,” Tunisia’s coach, Mondher Kebaier, said. “I’ve been coaching for a long time [and] never seen anything like it.”

“Even the fourth official was preparing to lift the board [to show how many minutes of injury time] and then the whistle was blown … The referee’s decision is inexplicable; I can’t understand how he reached it. We’ll see what comes of it.”

Meanwhile, Mali are so far unbeaten against Eagles of Carthage at the Africa Cup of Nations, with a 2-0 win in 1994 and a 1-1 tie in 2019 before yesterday’s 1-0 triumph.

Mohamed Magassouba’s men will then be clashing against Gambia on Sunday when Tunisia will also be taking on Mauritania.
