SERAMBINEWS.COM, JAYAPURA – The coach of the Aceh football team, Fakhri Husaini, criticized the leadership of referee Farid Hitaba from Yogyakarta.

“The referee was too pushy, so it was very detrimental to us.

There are so many decisions from him that really make us disappointed,” said Fakhri Husaini, a former Indonesian national team player to Serambinews, Friday (8/10/2021).

Fakhri Husaini gave an example of a decision in the 69th minute. Where the North Sumatran goalkeeper, Bambang Rahmad Hidayat, deliberately brought down the Aceh player, Ridha Umami, who had a great opportunity to score a goal.

“This is strange, the referee only gave a yellow card to the North Sumatra goalkeeper. In fact, according to the rules, the goalkeeper should be given a red card.

As a result of this harsh violation, Rida Umami injured her ankle,” said Fakhri.

In addition, Fakhri Husaini highlighted the decision to award a penalty to Aceh in injury-time.

Because, Rizky Yusuf’s sweep did not touch the feet of the North Sumatra players. “Obviously the referee really forced the decision so that the Aceh goal was broken,” he concluded.
