Ivory Coast’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier with Ethiopia descended into chaos on Tuesday afternoon when the referee collapsed on the pitch.<\/p>\n

With Ivory Coast leading 3-1 after 80 minutes, footage shows Charles Bulu being helped by players having seemingly felt unwell towards the end of the game.<\/p>\n

In the clip posted on Twitter, the ref is seen being slowly walked towards medical staff before closing his eyes and falling to the ground.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bulu was treated on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher, with reports suggesting he was taken to a local hospital for tests.<\/p>\n

The official was promoted to the top job after the referee who was originally given the game tested positive for Covid-19.<\/p>\n

However, the fourth official who took Bulu’s place was unable to take charge for the remainder of the match because he is Ivorian – and could have been accused of bias towards the hosts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
