.

Last night, Cameroon and Egypt met in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, and after a 0-0 draw at the end of 120 minutes, the Pharaohs won on penalties and advanced to the final. However, Queiroz received a red card for protesting against Bakary Gassama, the referee. In a post-match press conference, he angrily criticized the AFCON officials and the referee.

"Again, unfortunately, they send this type of referees to a game of this level, referees with no experience, no level, wanting to put on a show... It started right in the dressing room,"

said the Portuguese.

"We hadn't started the game yet and he comes to the locker room to intimidate our staff. But even against this, against all the decisions, which were always against Egypt, we were the best team in the second half and on penalties."

He added:

"CAF doesn't respect Egypt, from the timings to the quality of the pitches - we had the worst pitches! We are Egypt! 

"How can this referee, after what he has done in the past, be in the African Cup of Nations? Who understands this? Nobody!"

Egypt will face

in the final of the competition, and Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, two Liverpool teammates, will face each other.
