so why did guinea advance vs mali ?
both 3p with 3-3 goals
Both teams ended on the same points, the same goal difference and the same goals scored to tie for second in Group D, so Confederation of African Football decided to oversee a draw to decide who goes forward to play against Ghana.
Pretty strange decission if you ask me, but after I've seen last night the match between Tunisia and Equatorial Guinea nothing it's impossible...
To make short a long story, Tunisia took the lead in 70' through Akaïchi A. and when nothing seem to happen, the mauritian ref invents a penalty in '90+2 and push them in extra-time.
From that point Tunisia had no chance and after E.Guinea scored after another controversial decission everything was against them. Seems like the ref was blowing only into one direction, the oposite players were more laying on the pitch rather then playing, the ball kids were nowhere to find etc...
Here is the invented penalty by the 45yo mauritian ref, probably this was his retreat match:
