Ibrahima Kone netted the winner three minutes into the second half
Mali beat Tunisia 1-0 at the Africa Cup of Nations in a Group F game which ended in controversy after the referee blew for full-time early.
Carthage Eagles coach Mondher Kebaier and his technical staff rushed onto the field to confront referee Janny Sikazwe after he ended the game a minute early.
After a post-match press conference had started, tournament organisers ordered the game to be played to a conclusion.
However, Tunisia did not return to the field and Mali were declared winners.
