Convinced that the Algerian team was disadvantaged by refereeing errors, the FAF officially filed a complaint with CAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe FAF accompanied this official complaint with photos and videos, following obvious penalty situations.

What is certain is that it is unlikely that the body will agree to replay a Afcon 2023 match because of a clear error by the referee, who was not helped by the Var. The Fennecs, who now have 2 points after two draws, still have the opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 if they win against Mauritania on the last day of the group stage. The Mourabitunes have just recorded their second defeat in the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the exciting twists and turns of the Algeria vs Burkina Faso match, marked by refereeing controversies.
