Egypt Claims Championship Fix After Argentina Match

Published July 7, 2026 · Updated July 7, 2026 · El País

Egypt's national team has protested controversial refereeing in their match against Argentina, claiming the championship was fixed after two key disputed decisions.

Egypt's coach Hossam Hassan accused the referee of bias after Argentina's historic comeback victory. The African team protested two specific decisions: a disallowed goal to Zico that would have given Egypt a 0-2 lead, and two consecutive penalty claims in Argentina's area that led to Enzo Fernández's counterattack goal.

"The result was influenced by external factors. We deserved to win. There was no fair play, no respect," stated Hassan after the match. Despite the controversy, Egypt emphasized leaving with "heads held high" despite the disputed defeat. ipltable.lol
