Decision to strip Senegal of Afcon title has left me gobsmacked and others in Africa furious

As a person who was on the appeals board for six years I know that it does not have the power to change the on-field decision of a referee. I cannot understand how they came to this disgraceful decision. It has also left members of the Caf executive committee furious, knowing that point 5.2 of the laws of the game makes it clear that the decisions of a referee regarding facts connected with play, including whether or not a goal is scored and the result of the match, are final.
