Egypt’s Ziko Accuses Referee of Bias After Argentina’s Late Rally
Egypt forward Mostafa Ziko has backed coach Hossam Hassan’s claim that refereeing decisions cost the Pharaohs in their 3-2 Round of 16 loss to Argentina. Egypt looked set for a shock win after leading 2-0 with just ten minutes left. However, Argentina struck back through Romero, Messi and Fernández to snatch victory and book their place in the quarter-finals. A key moment came when Ziko’s strike was ruled out for a foul following a VAR review. “It was not fair from the referee,” Ziko said, insisting the calls “wasted all our efforts.” He added that the World Cup felt “directed towards Argentina.”
