The World Football Confederation announced today the lifelong exclusion of a Ghanaian referee, who took part in manipulating a match for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Joseph Ondartey Lambeth was found guilty of violating the FIFA disciplinary code during the match between South Africa and Senegal on November 12, 2016. It is worth noting that, a few days after this game, in which South Africa prevailed 2-1, the African confederation put on a three-month holiday the Ganezzo referee who incorrectly attributed the penalty, with which the "bafana bafana" opened the score.
In particular, Lambeth surprised everyone, when in the 43rd minute he whistled the "last of the penalties" in favor of the hosts, as the ball from the head of Eleazar Rodgers hit the knee of Calindo Koulibali, although the Ganezos refereed it " bandaged hand of the Napoli defender.
Meanwhile, FIFA announced that, following its investigation, it is withdrawing all charges against the Ghanaian assistant referee, David Lionhart Ni Lartei Lariea.
