ATLANTA, United States (AFP) â The Egyptian football federation said on Wednesday it had asked for the officiating team from the Pharaohsâ 2-3 defeat to Argentina in the last 16 of the World Cup to be thrown out of the competition.
âHany Aburida, president of the Egyptian Football Federation, filed a complaint with FIFA, demanding an investigation into the French referee Francois Letexier⌠after the serious refereeing mistakes committed by the team of referees and double standards,â said a statement from the federation.
On Tuesday, Letexier ruled out a Mostafa Ziko goal when Egypt were leading 1-0 after VAR intervened to spot a foul on Lisandro Martinez much earlier in the move.
