Guinea-Bissau Players Were In Tears After Disallowed Goal Against Egypt

Guinea-Bissau players were “crying” in the dressing room after their agonising 1-0 defeat by Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, according to two stars of the Djurtus.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah scored in the 69th minute to put the Pharaohs ahead in the Group D game in Garoua, but Mama Balde had a stunning late equaliser for the Djurtus ruled out after a video assistant referee review.

“We’re bitterly disappointed because the referee’s decision to rule out that goal left many players lying on the floor in tears,” revealed Guinea-Bissau Pele.

The Monaco midfielder added:

“All the players are disappointed and crying in the dressing room. To lose in this way is very bad and it left all the players in tears.”

With nine minutes left, Balde cut in from the left and curled a shot just inside the right-hand upright, but the forward was adjudged to have fouled Egypt defender Omar Kamal in the build-up.
