Egypt coach Hossam Hassan says his team is “cheated” after a controversial World Cup match against Argentina, which Argentina wins 3-2 following a late comeback. Hassan’s comments come after Egypt led for much of the game, including going 2-0 up before Argentina scored three late goals to secure victory. Central to Hassan’s complaint is a moment early in the match when Egypt’s Mostafa Zico goal is ruled out. According to the reports, VAR intervenes and identifies an earlier foul involving Lisandro Martinez in the build-up, overturning the goal while Egypt are leading 1-0. Hassan criticizes the fairness of the refereeing and VAR process, and he expresses anger in press comments, including questioning FIFA’s treatment of Egypt. One outlet also notes his broader allegation that Argentina benefits from off-pitch interests, though it states there is no evidence provided to support claims of corruption or deliberate match manipulation. The outlets collectively report Egypt’s dissatisfaction with VAR outcomes as the key factor behind Hassan’s remarks.
