Tunisia v Mali
DIR By: Hadrian

Not sure who the referee is but probably fair to say he hasn't
had his finest hour. After awarding a penalty with the help of a
VAR review for a handball earlier in the game, he has then
proceeded to blow for full time with the clock on 85 minutes,
then realised his mistake and restarted the game. He has then
very harshly sent off a player for SFP (despite VAR taking him
to the monitor to review - unheard of!) and finally has blown
for full time AGAIN with the clock on 89:40, this time with the
game not restarting. I think Tunisia will have something to say
afterwards and there could be repercussions for this game and
the referee.
EDIT: Apparently the referee was Janny Sikazwe of Zambia.

If I am not mistaken Mr. Sikazwe is one of Africa’s most
experienced referees I believe he was at WC2018 and is a
candidate for the upcoming WC. Edy and Mikael can correct me.
I watched it back and I really am not sure how this could have
happened. I know it’s a huge error but I have to say I feel
really bad for him. We’ve all made embarrassing mistakes but to
have it happen on the biggest stage must be very hard to recover
from. I wish him the very best but I would imagine this is the
end of his tournament. Hopefully they look at the whole picture
for WC selection.

From the highlights and the commentary - I suspect he didn’t
stop his watch for the cooling break about seven minutes prior
to blowing up the first time. And it all went downhill from
there.
Interesting Umbro kit they’re sporting in the game as well.

Do you have any highlights of all?

Eddie Hughes lives on!
Authorities ordered the game to be played to a conclusion but
Tunisia declined to leave the dressing room and Mali were
awarded the game (BBC).

Does the match clock stop for a water break? If it does, the
maths would seem to make sense.

A much more charitable take than I’ve seen elsewhere and sounds
very plausible

The second paragraph of the article below makes interesting
reading but I make no comment. I hasten to add the recently
added final paragraph is not from me!

Unless my eyes are deceiving me it looks like the 4O
pushes/shoves a member of the Tunisian bench at 0:55

Indeed he is.
However, his career practically ended after this match.
