“The image we gave of Africa today is a bit shameful! When a coach asks his players to leave the pitch… What Pape did tonight does not honour Africa.

“It’s not classy, but it’s okay. He is African champion, so he has the right to say what he wants.

“We stopped the match in front of the world for at least 10 minutes… It did not help Brahim. This isn’t an excuse for how he took the penalty. But we won’t go back. We will take responsibility.”
