It seems there was a controversial decision in the semi-final match between Burkina Faso and Ghana during the 2013 CAN. In the 118th minute, Jonathan Pitroipa of Burkina Faso was sent off after a collision with John Boye in the penalty area. Despite what appeared to be a foul committed by Boye, the referee deemed Pitroipa’s actions as simulation and issued him a second yellow card, resulting in his expulsion from the match.
This decision was undoubtedly a significant blow to Burkina Faso, especially considering the timing of the incident and the importance of Pitroipa as a key player for the team. Such controversial decisions often spark debates and discussions about refereeing decisions in football.
