Confusion At The Confederations Cup As Referee Shows A Red Card To The Wrong Player


At the latest Confederations Cup match in Russia, the new VAR (Video Assistant Referee) has come under fire after causing confusion an hour into Germany vs Cameroon.

With about an hour gone Ernest Mabouka fouled German and Liverpool midfielder Emre Can. With the referee not knowing what happened, he decided to check the VAR. After reviewing all the replays he made his decision. The ref sent of Sebastian Siana who was not involved with the foul in any way. This then caused outrage from the Cameroon players making the ref check the VAR once more. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that he had sent off the wrong player and then showed red to  Ernest Mabouka. Naughty Ernest.
