Morocco launch complaint about 'two obvious penalties' during World Cup semis MAR
However, despite being filled with pride after making history in the competition, Morocco aren’t pleased with the decisions made by the referee on the night, Cesar Ramos.
The Mexican official – who has been a full international for FIFA since 2014 – has been accused of denying ‘two obvious penalties’ during the first half of the clash. “The FMRF has written to the relevant body to review the refereeing decisions that deprived the Moroccan team of two penalties that were indisputable in the view of several refereeing specialists,” the Moroccan ruling body said in a statement.“The FMRF was equally astonished that the video assistant referee did not react to these situations.”
The FMRF were unhappy that Ramos opted not to award a penalty in the first half to the North Africans when France star Theo Hernandez made contact with Sofiane Boufal in the box.Boufal was outraged when he was booked for this incident instead of being awarded a spot kick
