Description: Shortly after arriving as a substitute, Ghezzal was given a yellow card for an apparent tug on the shirt of a Slovenian defender. Around 10 minutes later, a long ball was launched into the penalty area for Ghezzal to chase and he appeared to pull the ball down with his arm and the referee responded with a second yellow for deliberate handball and then a red.
Date of Game: Sunday 13th June 2010
Home Team:
Algeria | Away Team:
SloveniaReferee: Carlos Batres Gonzalez (GUA) | Linesman: Leonel Leal (CRC) & Carlos Pastrana (HON)
Decision Type: Red card | Verdict:
Decision Difficulty: 1/5 | Affect on result: 5/5 | Score: 6
Affect on Result: It's hard to say for sure, especially as the game barely changed after the red card however, as it occurred prior to the goal so you have to say it affected the result significantly | Winner: Slovenia | Loser: Algeria
Players Involved: Abdelkader Ghezzal (Algeria)
Summary: Ghezzal must have a screw loose. This was one of the easiest red card decisions you'll ever see a referee make. These type of red cards really make me angry because they're unnecessary and completely the players own doing.
Moments after coming on, Ghezzal - only yards from the ref - got a good fistful of Marko Suler's shirt. Easy yellow card.
Then, with the knowledge he is already on a yellow card he raises his arm high above his head, attempting to pull the ball down inside the Slovenian penalty area and create a goal scoring opportunity. Second yellow and a very well deserved red for trying to cheat.
Deliberate handball & shirt tugging are up there with kicking the ball away, diving & arguing with the ref as "the most stupid reasons for getting a yellow". Ghezzal picked up 2 in 12 minutes. He's an idiot.
