Head of the Egyptian Football Association Hani Abou Red said that the organization will file a complaint with FIFA for judging the match with the Russian team. According to Abu Reda, the judges made several mistakes: so, there was no video replay, when the forward Marwan Mohsen dropped into the box, FilGoal reported.. According to the head of the association, the referee in this case was to appoint a penalty. Russia won on June 19 with Egypt 3: 1.

Goals scored Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dziuba, the third goal was scored by the Egyptians themselves. The only goal for his team was Mohamed Salah, who realized a penalty. Before the appointment of a penalty, the arbitrator took advantage of the video help system, recalls the RIA "news". The 2018 World Cup was the first in history where the referees use the VAR system. Russia reached the 1/8 finals of the tournament, beating Saudi Arabia in the opening match and then the Egyptian national team.
