"Mo Salah told me...": South Africa's coach angered by the refereeing

"Mo Salah m'a dit...": le sélectionneur de l'Afrique du Sud remonté contre l'arbitrage

South Africa's Belgian coach Hugo Broos was furious about the penalty awarded after a slight foul on Mohamed Sahah, which allowed Egypt to win 1-0 against his Bafana Bafana and qualify for the round of 16 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Friday in Agadir.

"Even Mo Salah told me after the game: I was surprised it was a foul, it was ridiculous, really ridiculous," said Broos, 73, after the match.

The former coach of Cameroon, African champion with the Indomitable Lions in 2017, also did not get over the handball that was not called against Egypt at the very end of the match, which in his opinion should have resulted in a penalty for his team, who were then trailing 1-0.

"During the meeting (with the referees before the start of the competition, editor's note), they said that if the arm is outstretched, it's a foul. The arm was outstretched, so there was a foul. And then, they come out with nonsense saying it was a supporting arm. But who invented the supporting arm? The arm was outstretched and the ball touched it, it's an undeniable foul," fumed the man who helped Bafana Bafana reach 3rd place in the last AFCON in Ivory Coast.

"The pre-tournament meeting lasts 45 minutes: they explain the rules: 25 rules, then 50 rules. Then it's a foul, then no, then a red card for contact, then no, and so on. In the end, there are so many rules that nobody knows what to do anymore," he lamented.

After their defeat on Friday, South Africa, with 3 points, are second in Group B behind Egypt (6 pts), but ahead of Angola and Zimbabwe (1 point each), whom they will face on the 3rd day on Monday in Marrakech.

In case of victory or draw, they would qualify for the round of 16 where they will face the 2nd of group F, that of Ivory Coast, Cameroon or Gabon, on January 4 in Rabat.

    C'est comme ça dans un tournoi à 24.

    À la Coupe du Monde 1986, l'Uruguay passe avec 2 nuls et une défaite. Différence de buts -5 !

    Le seul cas d'élimination avec 4pts (sauf oubli), c'est la Norvège à la Coupe du Monde 94. Mais parce qu'elle avait terminé quatrième...
