CAF dismisses Egyptian ref who officiated Nigeria vs Zambia match

The 36 year old Egyptian referee who officiated the match between the
Super Eagles of Nigeria and Chipolopo of Zambia on Friday January
25th, has been dismissed from the on-going 2013 Africa Cup of Nations
as a result of poor officiating.
Ghead Grisha awarded a controversial penalty to Zambia in the 85th
minute which enabled them draw level in the groupC match.
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF immediately sent a protest letter
to the Confederation of African Football, CAF, asking the football
governing body to look into the questionable call by Grisha.
A top official of CAF said today that Grisha 'has been sent home. He
will have nofurther action at this Cup of Nations. His decisions did
not tally with best practices of the refereeing profession and we
would not allow anyone to start re-writing the rules of the game here'
