Egypt Claims Match-Fixing After Argentina Comeback

Egypt's national team has accused Argentine referee François Letexier of making controversial decisions during Argentina's historic comeback victory, claiming the championship was 'fixed'.

Egypt's coach Hossam Hassan criticized the referee's performance after Argentina's dramatic 3-2 win, specifically referencing two controversial plays. The first was an offside decision that nullified Egypt's goal by Zico, and the second involved two penalty appeals in Argentina's penalty area that led to Enzo Fernández's counterattack goal.

'The result has been influenced by external factors. We deserved victory. There was no fair play, no respect,' stated Hassan, adding that his team 'left with heads held high' despite the defeat. sportbet.rodeo
