Force FIFA to act against Match fixing and replay the Ghana vs South Africa match
The Issue
South Africa's national Football team, Bafana Bafana faced Ghana in a crucial Qatar World Cup qualifier. The South Africans came into the match on the back of a 4 match winning streak and were 3 points ahead at the start of the match.
In the 30th minute following a simple corner, the referee blew his whistle to call a foul in the penalty area, granting Ghana a chance to kick a penalty. Needless to say, the Ghanaian captain Andre Ayew slotted it in and Ghana went on to win the match 1 nil and thereby topping the standings in their group, relegating Bafana Bafana to second place and denying them the right to play off for a spot at the World Cup.
We call upon FIFA's ethics committee to investigate the Senegalese referee for, possible match manipulation and influencing the result of a football match. We also call on FIFA to order a replay of the match in question at a neutral venue and appoint a referee from one of the Arab nations.
Failure to replay the match will mean the World Cup Finals in Qatar, the first in the middle east will always be tainted with suspicions of corruption and match fixing.
