The Refereeing Directorate of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation handled the refereeing cases noted during the match between Raja Athletic Club and its host Olympique Safi, which took place as part of the fourth round of the tournament professional.
Radwan Gayed, director of the refereeing commission, confirmed the correctness of the decision of the match referee to award a penalty in favor of the “Green” team in the 69th minute of the match, which ended by the victory of Raja 2-3.
Geed explained during his analysis of the refereeing cases that “the confrontation was marked by an attack by Raja in the 69th minute, as the striker tried to change direction. When he tried to follow the ball, he was hindered and hit by the defender.
He pointed out: “There was an obvious obstruction by the defender, and the problem lies in whether the obstruction occurred inside or outside the penalty area, which requires the intervention of the VAR room. » The referee awarded a penalty after confirming that the foul occurred on the line of the operational zone and that the penalty was therefore valid.
