Eliminated by Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations on Saturday, the Malian players went to push the Egyptian referee of the match, who pushed them back!
The incredible quarter-final of the African Cup of Nations between Ivory Coast and Mali concluded on an equally incredible scene on Saturday in Bouaké. As a reminder, the Malian Eagles played 11 against 10 from the 43rd minute after the red received by Odilon Kossounou, led to the score in the 71st thanks to Nene Dorgeles, but before taking the 1-1 goal at the 90th and the opponent’s qualifying goal in added time of overtime (120th+2)!
At the final whistle of the game, some of Eric Chelle’s players rushed at the referee of the match, the Egyptian Mohamed Adel, who did not allow a final corner to be taken in favor of the Malians. Hamari Traoré, the captain of Mali, already very vindictive against the referee during the match, then pushed Mr. Adel, who then pushed him back!
Minutes after the end of the game and the celebration of the Ivorians with their supporters, Hamari Traoré visibly explained himself with Sébastien Haller, the Elephants striker, as shown in videos from beIN Sports.
