The chief referee of the World Cup final in Qatar Shimon Martsiniak admitted to a mistake made during the game.
In the final of the World Cup, the French team lost to the Argentines. According to the results of regular and extra time, a draw (3:3) was recorded, and the South American team turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout.
According to the referee, the decision to interrupt the French counterattack after an unsuccessful tackle by Marcos Acuña was wrong.
“Of course, there was a mistake on my part in this final … I misjudged the situation,” he said, emphasizing that he did not make other mistakes during the meeting.
Earlier it was reported that more than 200 thousand French people signed a petition demanding to replay the final. The main reason is the “corrupt”, in their opinion, refereeing in the match.
The French played at the tournament in Qatar in the status of current world champions. They won the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
