The delayed 2021 African Cup of Nations hasn't been short of drama or controversy this month, with big shocks, very questionable refereeing and some incredible goals.
Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez apologised on Tuesday for Algeria's winless exit at the first attempt in a group stage that also saw Ghana crash out and a referee who apparently thought a game of football only lasts for 85 minutes.
Into the knockout stages, and AFCON 2021 t has continued to entertain, with Tunisia knocking out Nigeria, Comoros running Cameroon mightily close on their competition debut despite having to play with an outfielder in goal, and City youngster Issa Kabore holding his nerve in a penalty shoot-out to put Burkina Faso through.
