World Cup 2022: Ghana FA reports shameful American referee Ismail Elfath, to FIFA, over dubious pena

Ghana FA has petitioned world governing bodies demanding sanctions against the scandalous decision that has ridiculed the VAR and put technology to the curb.

After he gave a suspicious decision against the Black Stars at Doha's 974 Stadium, the Major Soccer League referee came under increasing criticism.

An American diplomat of Moroccan descent refused to look at the VAR monitor again and deemed Mohammed Salisu's challenge to Cristiano Ronaldo a foul.

Television replays show that the referee made a mistake and that his decision should not have been taken.

This shocking decision has caused outrage all over the globe, prompting many to question the purpose of the Video Assistant Referees (VAR) in order to reduce these unfortunate incidents, its like they were gambling the future of Ghana like they were on NetBet casino.

Portugal was penalized with a dubious penalty, which made the game more complex. Ronaldo became the first man in five World Cup matches to score. The Europeans won 3-2 in Doha on Thursday night.

The refusal by referee Ismail Elfath to reexamine his original decision has shocked the world.

After Ronaldo had converted the controversial penalty, Ghana was back in action. Andre Ayew scored the goal at the 75th minute, after receiving a pass from Mohammed Kudus, and the ball went past the Portuguese keeper.

Joao Felix quickly restored Portugal's lead at minute 78. Rafael Leao extended the lead just two minutes later.

Osman Bukari, Ghana, managed to close the gap in minutes 89 but it was too late to bring back the Black Stars.

The other two teams in Group H were South Korea and Uruguay. They ended their match earlier today with a 0-0 draw.

Portugal's controversial win places them in the lead early as they aim to reach the group stage.
