He gave a second yellow which was a mistake as it was a red card offence (last man DOGSA).Can VAR rescind a red card if it’s the result of two yellows? It’s what the commentators initially claimed was happening.
The last 8 of this tournament are all completely different from the last 8 of the previous tournament. Must be some sort of International tournament record !Last 8 still and none of Senegal, Morocco, Egypt, Cameroon, Algeria will be there. I might add Ghana and Tunisia as well!

Upsets and unpredictability have been the story of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, with none of the quarter-finalists from the 2021 edition of the tournament reaching the last eight in Ivory Coast.
