Before the ninety minutes of play, Gambian referee Victor Gomes gave the Egyptian National team coach Carlos Queiroz red card which sent him off the pitch.

Carlos Queiroz’s red card was followed with a yellow card which was issued to his assistant Roger De Sà.

Before this semi-final match, the Egyptian Football Federation protested against the Gambian referee who was chosen to officiate the match.
