There are still variables in the top 18? West Asia Power Team sued FIFA: The referee has seriously misjudged the judgment and asked for a rematch

The top 18 matches in the Asian qualifiers have all ended, but the controversy surrounding the event has not stopped yet. Not long ago, a strong team from West Asia officially sued FIFA and applied for a rematch!

This team that publicly expresses dissatisfaction is Palestine. Before the last round of the group stage, they temporarily ranked fifth in the group with 9 points, which is only 1 point away from the Oman team in front of them. As long as you defeat Oman at home, the Palestinian team can complete a counterattack at the last moment, make it to the top four of the group, and get tickets to the next stage of the play-offs.

The Palestinian team, which was on the back, launched a fierce attack on the opponent's goal as soon as they came up. In the 49th minute, Cade took the corner kick and accurately found his teammate who was surrounded in the penalty area. Harub headed the ball to the front point, helping the Palestinian team break the deadlock first and take a 1-0 lead. In the 73rd minute, the Palestinian team ushered in goodwill again. Oman midfielder Saadi was too strong in defense and was sent off by the referee showing his second yellow card. He led the score and played one more man. The victory seemed to be waving to the Palestinian team.

However, in the injury time of the game, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Oman's forward Gasani, who came on as a substitute, was pulled down by a Palestinian player in the penalty area, and the referee decisively blew the whistle and awarded a penalty. However, judging from the slow motion of the replay, the Palestinian team's foul action this time was not very obvious, and there is undoubtedly some controversy in the penalty. And it was to take advantage of this precious penalty opportunity that Oman scored a draw in the last minute, taking away a point from the away game without any danger, and locking in the last playoff spot.

According to the latest report by Spanish "Maca", due to dissatisfaction with the referee on duty, the Palestinian Football Association has officially filed a complaint with FIFA. They believe that the penalty was an obvious misjudgment and asked the AFC and FIFA to give a clear explanation for this.

It is reported that the person responsible for law enforcement is Australian referee Arix King. He was criticized by the outside world for obvious misjudgment when he was enforcing his own national league. Now he has moved to the top 18 law enforcement, and he has once again created huge controversy.

According to the Marca, the Palestinian Football Association has asked FIFA to conduct a comprehensive investigation and review the referee's law enforcement procedures. If it is determined that the referee does have major omissions, the Palestinian Football Association will make a request for a rematch to defend the interests of the team and the fairness and justice of the game!

FIFA has not responded to this yet. I wonder if there will be any variables in the top 18 matches that have been finalized?
