The referee who decided the match too early returns to the value match.

In the preliminary group match between Belgium and Canada, a familiar name will be seen as the referee. Janny Sikazwe will make his debut on the World Cup greens on Wednesday, although his embarrassing performance at the African Championship tournament earlier in the year is still fresh in his mind.
In January, the Zambian referee scandalously whistled the end of the match between Mali and Tunisia twice and both times prematurely.. First he tried to end the game five minutes before the end of the actual playing time, then with the clock in 89:47.
The referee stood behind his decision for a long time, but finally admitted his mistake after strict negotiations and wanted to continue the match.
The mess got worse when Tunisia, who had experienced defeat, refused to return to the field. Tunisia’s coach said that his players had time to take an ice bath and recover from the match during the half-hour break.
However, the blunders did not close the referee’s dreams of blowing the whistle for the first time in the World Cup. He is the head referee in the Canada-Belgium match.
At the World Cup in Qatar, a phenomenon has arisen where the referee has ordered up to 15 minutes of extra time at the end of the games. If Sikazwe hasn’t gotten rid of his streak, the big extra time may remain a dream this time.
The match between Belgium and Canada starts at 21:00.
