An unbelievable incident has occurred in the match Gabon - Mali. Djamel Haimoudi from Algeria has cautioned a Mali player (Modibo Maiga, no.10) for a harmless foul (36'). In the 83th minute, he again cautioned the same player for unsporting behaviour - without sending him off! This was the impression we, plenty of international websites and also the Eurosport TV commentary had.The consequences of this are not sure of course, but well, there is a certain consequence for a FIFA Prospective List referee who is breaking formal rules like that...we have to wait for the official match report how this is considered.
The situation was not recognized by his assistant referees Redouane Achik (Morocco) and Abdelhak Etchiali and by the 4th Official Daniel Bennett (South Africa) either.
According to the official match report, a Gabonese player has received the yellow card in the 35th minute, however, questions remain why the hell more than ten (!) different websites from France, USA, England and Germany show that the yellow card has been issued to Maiga. As soon as videos are available, the issue will be clearer.
