Burkina Faso 0 - 1 Ghana
African Nations Cup 2010 group stage · 2010-01-19 Referee: Eddy Maillet

lame

tall

And he must have decided to whistle for almost everything, not always a good thing, but probably the right choice with these two teams.
But then Tall was sent off. His opponent Gyan fell and cried out holding his head, implying Tall had hit him. Well, Tall - who had been going through this match kicking and pushing - actually hadn't done anything this time. Not a good decision. (and I'm not sure if it was a direct red or a second yellow, and that stupid CAF site won't tell us either. Let's say it was a second yellow)

respect

I saw Burkina Faso player Dagano yell at the ref, yell really loud, in his face. Maillet pretended not to notice. I think he should have booked him. I guess even Maillet lost his concentration a bit at the end, long after all the players lost theirs.
