Former Egypt goalkeeper Ahmed Shobier has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Tanzania’s appeals for a penalty during their match against Morocco.
Shobier discussed the incident in a video, focusing on whether Tanzania should have been awarded a spot-kick after calls from players and fans during the game.
According to Shobier, the referee’s decision to play on was the correct one, explaining that the contact in the area did not meet the level required for a penalty.
He added that such moments often spark debate because of the speed of the action and the different angles shown on television, but stressed that the final call must be based on clear evidence.
Shobier’s comments come as the incident continues to draw attention, with many supporters believing Tanzania were denied a major chance against Morocco, while others argue the referee made the right judgment in real time.
