The last minutes and the post-game of the Uruguay vs. Ghana clash for the third day of group H were quite controversial due to some arbitration decisions that, in the opinion of the South American team, represented “a robbery”.
During the claims at the end of the game by the Uruguayans, the defender José María Giménez was the protagonist of a controversial action by giving the FIFA competitions director a strong elbow to the head.
In the previously published video, you can see how Gimenez acts with intention and hits the manager hard, who is briefly noticeable grimacing in pain.
These images are being evaluated by the FIFA Court of Arbitration for Sport and most likely the whole mess will lead to an exemplary sanction for the Atlético de Madrid player.
The controversial plays of Uruguay vs Ghana
At least two presumed penalties that were not whistled in favor of the light blue, were part of the reasons that ignited the anger of the Uruguayan players.
But the most controversial play was a possible free kick inside the area that Edison Cavani was not whistled for.
The reactions through social networks did not wait, and both journalists and fans expressed their discomfort at what they consider an “arbitral foul”.
