Cote d'Ivoire 2 - 3 Algeria
African Nations Cup 2010 1/4 finals · 2010-01-24 Referee: Eddy Maillet

Disturbed by the assistant

Match

In the beginning of the game I thought about falling asleep, but I'm glas I didn't because in the end it was an incredible game. At the end of the normal time it was incredible, with Côte d'Ivory marking the 44th minute and Algeria tying in the 46th, there was a lot of emotion. There were a lot of stoppages in the extra time, mainly due to the goalkeeper of Algeria, A bruise that took 6 minutes in the first time and 7 in the second, in fact in the second time, had one moment that he seemed to be disagreed.

Assistant

But it was a very touching end, and in spite of not having deserved, Côte d'Ivory got to tie, and mistakenly the assistant annulled the goal, two players from Algeria existed conditions so much to the players marfinense, it was the assistant very badly in this throw. But that mistake of the assistant, it cannot be given as excuse to Côte d'Ivory, since they deserved to lose.

Maillet

Apart from this throw at the end of the game, Maillet gave a great performance, for me the best arbitration, that I saw up to now in this competition.
