Guinea-Bissau players were reportedly in tears following their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Egypt in their previous AFCON group match.
Star forward Mohamed Salah broke the deadlock in the 70th minute of the match.
However, Baciro Cande’s side seemed to have restored parity when Mama Balde fired a stunning equaliser.
But that goal was chalked off after a video assistant referee review.
“We’re bitterly disappointed because the referee’s decision to rule out that goal left many players lying on the floor in tears,” Monaco midfielder Pele said (as per BBC Sport).
