Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Referee cancelled Ramadhan Sananta offside goal after a VAR check against Uzbekistan in U-23 AFC championship.
Uzbekistan have secured their place in the men’s football tournament at Paris 2024 this summer.
It marks the first time this nation will compete in a team sport at the Olympic Games, drawn into Group D alongside Paraguay, Mali, and Israel.
With a 2-0 win over Indonesia, courtesy of goals from Khusayin Norchaev and Pratama Arhan (own-goal), they progress into the final of the AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024.
In a match at Rayong Stadium, Thailand on Sunday, August 20, Indonesia’s single goal was contributed by Ramadan Sananta from Beckham Putra’s assist at the end of the first half.
Indonesia actually has many golden opportunities. Even the Garuda squad could actually close the victory with a score of 2-0. But unfortunately the referee ruled out the goal that Sananta made again in the second half.
The referee’s decision was taken because Sananta was considered offside before scoring a goal. However, in the replay the Indonesian striker was in an onside position. Knowing this, Shin Tae-yong then gave a strong satire for referees and AFF (ASEAN Football Federation).
The U-23 Indonesian national team coach hopes that the AFF will evaluate the quality of the competition by improving the quality of the referee.
A relentless encounter full of end-to-end football would come to a head in the final 25 minutes, with three goals – one disallowed for Indonesia – and a sending-off for the Red and White, provided an entertaining semi-final clash.
The penultimate Paris 2024 berth will be decided later today, with Japan and Iraq locking horns at 19:30 CET.
