WALK ON THE REFEREE

By defeating Ghana 2-0 in the last match of Group H of the 2022 World Cup, Uruguay finished third in the group on goal difference and said goodbye to the tournament. The Uruguayan team, which was devastated with the final whistle of the game, took breath from the German referee Daniel Siebert.

With the end of the game, the Uruguayan soccer players, who surrounded the referee Siebert and his assistants, showed a harsh reaction. Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, walking towards the assistant referee, pushed the referee from behind with his hand. The assistant referee was baffled by Muslera’s play.
