CAF dismisses Egyptian ref who officiated Nigeria vs Zambia match

Egyptian referee, Ghead Grisha, who was at the centre in the Group C match Nigeria n Zambia in Nelspruit on Friday, has been sacked from the 29th Africa Cup of Nations.

Grisha hugged the headlines on the negative side when he awarded a highly controversial penalty against the Super Eagles four minutes from time, which enabled the champions to draw level in the game at Mbombela Stadium.
