The Centre Referee who officiated last Friday's match between Nigerian Super Eagles and Defending Champions, Chipolopolo of Zambia, Grisha Gehad from Egypt has been sent packing for awarding a controversial penalty to the Zambians at the dying minutes of the match. Nigeria was leading Zambia till the last minutes when Ogenyi Onazi held back an opponent outside the 18 yard box. Clearly, it was outside the box but the controversial referee decided to change football rule by himself. An official of CAF confirmed it. ''Grisha Gehad has been fired by CAF; he will not further action on this nations cup. His decision did not tally with best practices of refereeing profession and we would not allow anyone to ammend the rules of the game here'' the official stated.
