Referee Ismail Elfath has come under fire from social media users for his actions against the Ghana Black Stars on the field.

Ismail Elfath, the referee who awarded Portugal a penalty, has received numerous calls for FIFA to penalize him.

Ismail Elfath, the referee, has come under fire from the Africa Soccer Zone for the racism he displayed on the field yesterday.

The referee did not merit the honor of being named the “Best Referee of the Year,” according to the African Soccer Zone. The referee, as a matter of fact, was characterized as being racist.

Below Are Some Angry Reactions

@sweet Israel: This is the referee who did a No VAR check so Penaldo could get the chance to score a #FIFAWorldCup penalty goal. I know they hate Africans SHAME ON YOU ISMAIL ELFATH, BIG CHEAT AND FRAUD

@Hamlet: pure Robbery…No VAR.. Disgraceful

@ezequil: The referee robbed Ghana in broad daylight, allowing an offside goal and awarding a penalty for no foul committed. No VAR check. Gh should petition. The VAR Man of the Nana Addo Lord Kenya #racist Jordan Ayew Asamoah Gyan Robbery Was VAR

@Flea: Ghana was robbed just now

@Okuraku Ampofo: penalty goal. I know they hate Africans SHAME ON YOU ISMAIL ELFATH, BIG CHEAT AND FRAUD

@Of_Mansa: Leao is clearly offside. No VAR check or anything. Utter garbage the way they treat African countries

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE! Ghana vs Portugal. Clear offside, yet no VAR check. An unacceptable act of cheating. Overly despicable in its entirety. #FIFAWhy? pic.twitter.com/y7otzShIPt

I am wondering as to why VAR was introduced, looking down always on the black man as if our lives don’t matter. What nonsense. A false penalty against Ghana vs Portugal. Shameless #FIFAWorldCup #qatar.
