In the final minute of regulation in this evening’s Africa Cup of Nations semi-final between Egypt and Cameroon, Egypt manager Carlos Queiroz was sent offer an angry outburst towards the match officials.
There was a coming together between Cameroon defender Nouhou Tolo and Egypt winger Ramadan Sobhi, as the linesman worked to split the jawing duo, Queiroz caused a ruckus on the sidelines.
Queiroz, who has worked in coaching and management roles for the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United and the Portuguese national team, was livid with the referee, and ultimately saw a red card for his vicious confrontation towards the lead official.
As the BBC commentary team noted, Queiroz was enraged as he believed that a Cameroon player had ‘punched’ his player.
