On July 2nd, 2019, the semifinals qualifiers Haiti and Mexico played their match which goes to the overtime with both teams leading 0. Haiti had won all of its last eight competitive matches. This Gold Cup run marked a substantial step forward for the Haitian program, as the country topped its first Gold Cup group and advanced to its first semifinal.\u00a0
In the Copa America,\u00a0the game was stopped 200 times for VAR. Video Assistant Referee, four goals were even pulled out of the game because of VAR, and there was no VAR at this tournament. There have been far worse contacts than this one where penalties were not awarded.\u00a0 Besides, repeated replays clearly showed that Jimenez took a dive. This incident clearly underscores the importance of VAR, which would have made the call a lot more credible. It was clear and very strange because it is not what we all know as a penalty kick.\u00a0
Also, the Mexican player should not have grabbed the ball like that before a call is made. That should be an automatic yellow even if the foul is called.\u00a0
It is very unfortunate and saddening to see the penalty that took place in overtime was not reviewed by the appropriate officials.\u00a0\u00a0
As both countries played hard and competitively, we expected the match to be fair at all times.\u00a0
We believe the wrong decision was made by the referee, which created a lot of questions and confusion from soccer fans. The Haitian community around the world is strongly requesting that the penalty shot be reviewed and an investigation is carried on the center referee.\u00a0
According to Liveaboutdotcom:\u00a0

Kicks or attempts to kick an opponent\u00a0
Trips or attempts to trip an opponent\u00a0
Jumps at an opponent\u00a0
Charges an opponent\u00a0
Strikes or attempts to strike an opponent\u00a0
Pushes an opponent\u00a0
A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following offenses:\u00a0
Tackles an opponent to gain possession of the ball, making contact with the opponent before touching the ball\u00a0
Holds an opponent\u00a0
Spits at or bites someone\u00a0
None of those mentioned above happened during the match from the Haitian team to the opponent.\u00a0
We there ask that, Abdulrahman Al- Jassim the referee from Qatar should be investigated for corruption. The referee fails to explain his reasoning, which made it very questionable. In a match there will be a winner and a loser.\u00a0 However, we refuse to accept that this how Haiti would eliminate from the tournament.\u00a0\u00a0

We would like clear reasoning and response for the game officials.\u00a0\n\n<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
