Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Egyptian Referee Suspended For Using Spectator\u2019s Phone To Review Goal An Egyptian referee, Mohamed Farouk, has been suspended indefinitely by the country\u2019s FA, after allegedly disallowing a goal after looking at footage on a spectator\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Farouk took charge of an Egyptian Second Division clash between Al-Nasr and Suez on Friday and in the absence of VAR, relied on an alternative system to get a second look at a late goal. With the hosts Suez 2-1 up heading into the final few minutes, Al-Nasr scored a dramatic equaliser to earn a point on the road.<\/p>\n

However, after vociferous protests from home supporters, Farouk was invited to use a fan\u2019s phone to watch a replay of the goal before ruling it out for handball to deny the visitors an away point at Suez on Friday.<\/p>\n

Dailymail reports that as a result of his actions, Farouk has come in for hefty punishment, with the head of the Egyptian Referees Committee, Vitor Pereira, deciding to suspend the referee and his entire matchday staff for \u2018an indefinite period\u2019.<\/p>\n

Pereira replaced former veteran Premier League official Mark Clattenburg in the role with the ERC earlier in March. Pereira\u2019s action was confirmed by the Egyptian FA, who added, \u201cThe committee decided to investigate the incident when Mohamed Farouk, the referee of the match, used a mobile phone to review footage of the match\u2019s events.\u201d<\/p>\n
