Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso could be sanctioned by CAF after revealing a religious slogan in a goal celebration.
The 22-year-old was over the moon after he scored for the Black Stars in the 1-0 win over Mali in their second Group B match at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Espanyol player pulled his jersey over his head to reveal a T-shirt with the words "Allah is Great"
Ivorian referee Doue Noumandiez showed him the yellow card.
