Recently, the Asian Football Federation (AFC) has officially sent feedback on the complaint of the Thai Football Federation. Accordingly, AFC affirmed that the decisions of referee Ahmed Al-Kaf are completely correct, including the penalty situation in the 73rd minute of the match.
AFC announced: "If the defender pulls the attacking shirt outside the box and continues when the player enters the penalty area, the referees are entitled to give the penalty. After receiving the advice of the VAR, Ahmed Al-Ka made the correct decision when giving U23 Saudi Arabia the penalty. "
In addition, AFC also confirmed that there was no bias in arranging the referee team in that match. The AFC arbitration committee selects the best arbitrator for the match under consideration of their ability and experience.
