Few would have known Janny Sikazwe's name prior to Wednesday's action at the Africa Cup of Nations, but after the debacle that unfolded in Mali's 1-0 win against Tunisia, few will ever forget it.
The Zambian official delivered one of the worst refereeing performances in living memory after he blew the final whistle after just 85 minutes before restarting play, but then blew again with just 89 minutes and 43 seconds of the Group F clash gone.
His mistake drew a furious reaction from Tunisia's bench, with boss Mondher Kebaier furiously grabbing the arm of the Zambian referee and pointing to his watch in the immediate aftermath of the full-time whistle.

The Tunisia head coach was then joined by his backroom staff in protesting, with Kebaier confronting one of the linesmen to complain about the game being brought to a premature end with his side losing 1-0.
Security staff had to surround Sikazwe, who refereed at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and his two officials at the Limbe Stadium in Cameroon in order to keep angry Tunisia staff away from them.
There have been suggestions Sikazwe's double error came after he stopped the match for a five-minute water break, but failed to pause his watch, while others say Sikazwe believed the extra four minutes 43 seconds played after his initial full-time whistle was stoppage time.
Tunisia's coaches, however, were seemingly making a valid point with their initial protests about an early finish, with two lengthy VAR checks also taking place during the Group F clash. That is all without mentioning ignoring VAR advice telling him to overturn the extremely harsh red card he gave to Mali substitute El Bilal Toure.
Fortunately, Sikazwe is not the only official to have endured a nightmare 90 minutes on the pitch as the main official. Here, Sportsmail takes a look at some of the worst refereeing performances down the years...
The game saw two VAR interruptions, the first awarding a penalty to Tunisia in the second half
Tom Henning Ovrebo - Chelsea v Barcelona, May 2009
This refereeing performance from Norwegian Tom Henning Ovrebo probably still makes Chelsea fans' blood boil, and no doubt left their players incensed.
Ovrebo did dismiss Barcelona defender Eric Abidal in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at Stamford Bridge. But that is probably the only favour he did for Chelsea that night.
The Blues were denied no fewer than four potential penalties during the 90 minutes. The first came when Florent Malouda looked to be brought down by Dani Alves inside the box, only for the referee to signal a free-kick just outside the box.
Didier Drogba had the next appeal when he was tugged back by Abidal but Ovrebo ignored his claims. Then 10 minutes from time, Gerard Pique survived after appearing to handle the ball under pressure from Nicolas Anelka.

The two most painful moments, howevery, came when Andres Iniesta equalised in stoppage time - after Michael Essien's ninth-minute opener - to send eventual winners Barcelona to the final in Rome to play Manchester United.
But the hosts would have one more penalty appeal waved away when Michael Ballack's volley appeared to strike Samuel Eto'o's arm - and the German chased the referee back up the pitch to vent his fury.
Chaotic scenes then followed when the final whistle blew, with Ballack and Drogba chasing the referee, with the latter shouting 'it's a f***ing disgrace' into a TV camera.
UEFA were forced to quickly to refute a conspiracy theory that the governing body were desperate to avoid a repeat of the 2008 final between the Blues and United.
But in 2012, Ovrebo did admit he was at fault during the game, although failed to fully apologise for his role in one of the darkest days for referees in European history.

Andre Marriner - Chelsea v Arsenal, March 2014
Arsene Wenger's 1,000th game in charge of Arsenal will be remembered as a nightmare by many more people than the Frenchman alone.
Among them will be referee Andre Marriner, who appeared to send off the wrong player in a case of mistaken identity at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were already 2-0 up when they launched an attack which saw Eden Hazard's curling shot tipped away and behind by midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's fingertips.
Marriner did not fail to award the penalty - one Hazard would go on to score - but instead showed the red card to Kieran Gibbs, a decision he would later apologise for.
The Gunners left-back was left confused and Oxlade-Chamberlain even told Marriner he was the guilty party. But Marriner's decision
