Tehran, June 25, IRNA – After Iran?s complaint to FIFA over the referee?s poor judgment in Iran-Argentina match, FIFA assigned the referee to fourth official in his next match.
The head of the Iranian Football Federation Referees Committee Fereydoun Esfahanian said on Wednesday that the penalty kick had to be awarded to Iran by the referee Milorad Mazic.
