Portugal had to exit from the World Cup after losing to Morocco. Although Portugal dominated the match, Morocco had the last laugh by scoring a goal. They won 1-0 and became the first African team to go to the semi-finals of the World Cup. However, despite losing to Morocco, Portugal expressed great dissatisfaction with the referee. Pepe and Bruno Fernandez expressed anger after the match that they had to lose because of the referee. These two stars complained that several fair penalties were not given to Portugal. Pepe in particular, suggested handing the World Cup directly to Argentina. Pepe complained that the Argentinian referee had lost them.
This is probably Pepe’s last World Cup. Like Cristiano Ronaldo, he will retire from international football. But he did not end well. After the loss to Morocco, he faced the reporters and said, ‘Give the World Cup to Argentina. It is not expected that an Argentinian referee is officiating the match. Everyone saw what happened in the last match. We were underplayed in extra time.’
The same tone was heard in the voice of Bruno Fernandez. He said, ‘Match officials have no experience of playing Champions League, they cannot play such big matches. Fouled me in the first half, we deserved a penalty. And then I could easily put the ball in the goal.
Lionel Messi was involved in his previous match with the referee. He said that the referee made several wrong decisions in the match against the Netherlands. The referee showed a total of 18 yellow cards in the match between Argentina and the Netherlands. Which is the highest in the history of the World Cup. Messi also railed against the referee, saying they were underplayed in extra time. All in all, in the quarter finals, the referee was on the court in two consecutive matches.
Portugal showed dominance in the entire match against Morocco. From ball possession to passing, everything was ahead. But could not score. Multiple scoring opportunities were created but could not be converted into goals. The ball stuck in the hands of Moroccan goalkeeper Bono. At the end, Pepe had a chance to score a sure goal, but he couldn’t head the ball into the net. All in all, despite Portugal’s dominance, the goal had the last say.
