[Zhan Jianjian/Comprehensive Report]Although Morocco lost to France 0-2 in the semi-finals, due to dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation decided to formally file a complaint with FIFA, requesting that the match be replayed , but because the third place and the championship match are about to take place on the 6th, this appeal is almost difficult to change the result.
The North African side were beaten 2-0 by France at the Al Bayt Stadium but argued they were not awarded two 12-yard penalties.
Morocco were the first African team to go this far at the World Cup, but goals from T. Hernández and R. Kolo Muani meant they missed the final.
However, there was a lot of talk about referee Cesar Ramos’ standards, and as a result many fans were clamoring for a rematch.
According to “Footmercato”, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (RMFF) argued that “Morocco’s protest after two penalties were not blown in the first quarter”, one of the incidents was Boufal (Sofiane Boufal) was fouled by Hernandez, but instead of being awarded 12 yards, the former Southampton star was awarded a foul on the Frenchman and was shown a yellow card by the Mexican referee.
Despite the error, VAR did not intervene or challenge Ramos, which is believed to have upset RMFF.
Another penalty was called for when Standard Liege midfielder Selim Amallah went down in the penalty area in a free-kick, but the referee made no call.
RMFF has since decided to appeal after being encouraged by calls for a rematch from fans who have flooded an Instagram account owned by Ramos. After the game, the account sent a message to the Moroccan fans saying: “My friends, the people of Morocco. Please be patient. If you are not satisfied with the game, you can raise a collective objection through the FIFA website, and the game can be replayed.”
Morocco fans slammed the referee’s performance in the penalty area. One said: “Explain Boufal’s yellow card. This yellow card should be for a French player. I think you forgot how to do your job.” A second added: “We asked Morocco and France to replay A third wrote: “A French player hit Boufal in the penalty area. Instead of a penalty, you gave him a yellow card.” A fourth commented: “That’s a bad idea. Our team is unfair and the whole Moroccan country is sad.”
