Imbroglio Senegal – Morocco: The Referee’s decision is Final – Raymond Hack

Former Arbitrator at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), Raymond Hack, has said Senegal could win their case because the refereeโ€™s decision is final:

โ€œThe rules are very simple, the referee is the only person in charge of the game on the field, and when he blows the whistle, thatโ€™s the end of the game; anything that happened before doesnโ€™t come into the final decision.

โ€œThe referee is the only person who can bring the game to an end. He brought the game to an end at the end of extra time, and the winner was Senegal. So Senegal remains champions. โ€œ
