🚨🚨🚨

The match between Argentina and Egypt for the Round of 16 of the World Cup generated huge controversy, one in which the Africans started with a 0-2 lead, but in which the Albiceleste knew how to recover to seal a 3-2 scoreline in the closing stages of the match.

Despite that, many refereeing decisions left the Egyptian team upset, such as the play that resulted in a goal disallowed in their favor by VAR decision. What is peculiar is that the same referees who made this decision did not review a dangerous action in which Nahuel Molina struck Emam Ashour in the face, provoking the fury of “the Pharaohs”.
