Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan is shown a yellow card after making an anti-racism gesture in the dying moments of Egypt’s World Cup Round of 16 match against Argentina. Both outlets report that the incident occurs after a tense period of controversy involving VAR, which escalates as the match nears its end. In that final phase, Hassan makes the FIFA anti-racism gesture with his arms. Referee decisions then follow immediately: Hassan receives a booking, with the Mirror describing the moment as occurring as the referee books him during the heated finish. Yahoo Sports likewise states that Hassan is booked with a yellow card after performing FIFA’s official anti-racism gesture. The reports do not indicate any further disciplinary action beyond the yellow card, and they frame the episode as part of a wider match disruption tied to VAR debate. The match itself ends in Egypt’s defeat to Argentina, and the coach’s booking becomes the standout disciplinary detail from the final minutes.
