Refused to play their decisive game

Elimination matches for Africa Cup of nations 2021 (2022), round 6, night 3 out of 3:

Central African Republic - Mauritania 0:1

Scorer: 0:1 41 (40.35) Aboubakar Kamara

Ivory coast - Ethiopia 3:1

Scorers: 1:0 02 (02.07) Willi Boly
               2:0 19-pen (18.26) Franck Kessie
               2:1 73 (73.20) Getaneh Kebede
               3:1 75 (75.08) Jean Evrard Kouassi

- Ghanaian referee Charles Bulu collapsed on the pitch and, as was unable to continue his job, this duel ended 10 minutes early. As the fourth official who was from Ivory coast could not officiate the result seems to be final. While the guests are claiming that the score should not be valid, there is no loss suffered for anyone because both teams have qualified for the finals.

Madagascar - Niger 0:0

Senegal - Eswatini 1:1

Scorers: 0:1 03 (03.46) Sabelo Gamedze
               1:1 90+6 (65.23) Cheikhou Kouyate

- Lindo Mkhonta (Eswatini) saw a second yellow that turned into red immediately after the equalizing goal.

Guinea-Bissau - Congo 3:0

Scorers: 1:0 45 (45.11) Piqueti Djassi Brito Silva
               2:0 73 (72.21) Frederic Mendy
               3:0 80 (79.26) Jorge Intima (better known as Jorginho)

Nigeria - Lesotho 3:0

Scorers: 1:0 23 Victor Osimhen
               2:0 50 Oghenekaro Etebo
               3:0 83 Paul Onuachu
