SOCCER GAME ENDS IN CHAOS
The African Cup of Nations game between Tunisia and Mali ended in chaos on Wednesday after the referee blew the full-time whistle too early.
Zambian official Janny Sikazwe appeared to initially call full-time after 85 minutes before then deciding to resume play. He then blew his whistle again to end the match, this time seconds before the 90 minutes were up.

Tunisia’s coach Mondher Kbaier gestures during the Group F match.
Despite the delays, no stoppage time was added on.

Mali’s 1-0 win put them top of Group F.
