On Tuesday, the final round of advancement to the African championship took place. In the 6th round of Group K, the match between Côte d’Ivoire and Ethiopia was not completed. Ten minutes before the end of the match, the main referee, Charles Bulu, collapsed on the lawn. The Ghanaian referee was unable to continue his fight and was sent off.
The home team led 3: 1 at this time. The main referee was replaced by line judge Gilbert Cheruiyot, who immediately ended the match prematurely.

It is not clear whether the result of the duel will apply. However, it will not play an important role in the overall table, because Madagascar failed to defeat Niger and did not jump over Ethiopia. Both teams advanced to the championship in Cameroon.
