Hakim Ziyech has criticised the refereeing at the Africa Cup of Nations, saying he has been left frustrated by a number of decisions during the tournament.
The Morocco international did not hide his feelings after the recent match, pointing to what he saw as inconsistent calls and a lack of clarity from officials. Ziyech made it clear he believes the standard of refereeing has had an impact on games and has not always been at the right level for a major competition.
Morocco are among the sides still chasing success at the tournament, but Ziyech’s comments underline growing irritation within the squad about how matches have been handled.
Ziyech has been one of Morocco’s key players at the Africa Cup of Nations. However, he stressed that teams should be able to focus on football, without feeling they have to battle decisions that can change the direction of a match.
