The Tunisian coach unleashed an amazing tirade after a blatant miscarriage of justice saw his side knocked out of the Cup of Nations.
Georges Leekens was outraged at the decisions which he felt went against his men during the clash, and the tournament as a whole.
Equatorial Guinea won the match 2-1 after being awarded an injury time penalty which saw them force extra time.

"In all my 45 years in football, I had never seen such a decision. It was a terrible decision. It is difficult to accept such an injustice which is not good for football. It is painful. We have worked very hard to get here. We didn’t expect to leave this tournament in this manner,” he said after the match.
He did not defend his players' actions in confronting the referee after the game, but he did frame them in the context of the injustice.
