AP, Bata :
Tunisia’s football federation was fined $50,000 on Tuesday and threatened with a ban, while a referee was sent home and suspended for six months in the fallout from the chaotic African Cup of Nations quarterfinal against host Equatorial Guinea.
Tunisia was also ordered to pay for damages to a door and a refrigerator in the team’s dressing room at Bata Stadium.
However, Africa’s top football body did not announce any sanctions against players despite members of the Tunisian squad chasing the referee and aiming kicks and punches at him as he fled with a riot police escort at the end of the ill-tempered match.
