An Egyptian referee, Mohamed Farouk, has been suspended indefinitely by the country’s FA, for allegedly disallowing a goal after looking at footage on a spectator’s phone, Daily Mail reports.
Mohamed Farouk took charge of an Egyptian Second Division clash between Al-Nasr and Suez on Friday and in the absence of VAR, relied on an alternative system to get a second look at a late goal.
With the hosts Suez 2-1 up heading into the final few minutes, Al-Nasr scored a dramatic equaliser to earn a point on the road.
