If I am not mistaken Mr. Sikazwe is one of Africa’s most experienced referees I believe he was at WC2018 and is a candidate for the upcoming WC. Edy and Mikael can correct me.
I watched it back and I really am not sure how this could have happened. I know it’s a huge error but I have to say I feel really bad for him. We’ve all made embarrassing mistakes but to have it happen on the biggest stage must be very hard to recover from. I wish him the very best but I would imagine this is the end of his tournament. Hopefully they look at the whole picture for WC selection.
