Ame's number on the official team sheet was 24, but he wore number 26, when he entered the field. Guinea, therefore, wants CAF to remove Tanzania and instead promote it.

“CAF informed the Guinean Football Federation (FGF) that the CAF Disciplinary Secretariat has considered FGF's complaint regarding the match between Tanzania and Guinea,” read part of the statement.

Guinea has asked CAF to announce itself and explain the rules.

Both sides will now eagerly await the CAF results to find out who will qualify for Morocco next year. DR Congo qualified as group winners.
