Tunisia coach Mondher Kebaier said he had "never seen anything like it" after the referee in his side's Africa Cup of Nations opener against Mali on Wednesday blew the final whistle before the game had been completed. Zambian official Janny Sikazwe signalled the end of the match and a 1-0 win for 10-man Mali in the coastal town of Limbe with the clock showing 89 minutes and 47 seconds.
