The star of Argentina, Lionel Messi, was unhappy with the way Spanish referee Mateu Lahoz officiated the match with the Netherlands.
Lahoz has distributed 16 yellow cards and one red, according to official data.
“This match should not have ended the way it did. I don’t want to talk about the judge as I am sanctioned”.
“But people have seen what happened. We were scared before the game because we know what it is and I think FIFA should review this.”
“You cannot appoint a referee like him for these matches”, said Messi.
There was a lot of tension throughout the match on the field, while in some incidents players from both teams were involved.
