Cairo-Sana
The Executive Office of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided today to approve the result of yesterday's match between Tunisia and Mali in the first round of the African Nations Cup group stage, which ended with Mali winning 1-0.
The referee of the match, Gani Sikazui, ended the match before its official date, in an incident that sparked great controversy.
The Tunisian national team refused to return to complete the remaining minutes of the match, after CAF officials asked him to do so, demanding that it be returned because it did not end in its original time before the Confederation of African Football decided today to adopt a Mali victory.
Tunisia and Mali are in Group F of the continental championship, along with Gambia and Mauritania.
