African U20 Nations Cup tournament – a curiosity.

In the match between Libya and Tunisia's youth teams, coaches jumped in front of the referee.

The coaches of the Libya national team and one of the players did not understand why an offside was called.

At the end of the match, the Tunisian goalkeeper ran out to score, but failed to do so. A Libyan player who received the ball wanted to pass it to his teammate, but he was clearly offside, as the goalkeeper had gone far out of his goal.

The match ended with a score of 1:1.
