Egypt Claims Argentina Match Was Fixed

Egypt's coach Hossam Hassan declared that "the result has been influenced by external factors" after their team's loss to Argentina in a historic comeback. The African nation is protesting two specific referee decisions: a disallowed goal that would have made it 0-2 and consecutive actions in Argentina's area where they claimed a penalty. sport-ipl.my

"We deserved victory. There was no fair play, no respect," said Hassan. The controversial plays included a goal by Egypt's Zico that was disallowed for a previous foul, and a sequence that led to Enzo Fernández's goal in Argentina's comeback.
