Egypt coach Hossam Hassan claims foul after Argentina defeat
Egypt coach Hossam Hassan claimed that the match between his side and Argentina was not fairly played after losing 3-2 in the round of 32.
Hassan revealed that the officiating was subjective and claimed that Mohammed Salah’s strike that hit the back of the net should have been regarded as a goal after the centre referee ruled it out.
The Egyptian legend also claimed that the third goal for Argentina should not have stood for a previous infringement.
