The Moroccan Football Federation says that even if a substitute player is knocked down, the match official will Failed to see again.

“The Royal Moroccan Football Federation has written to the relevant body to review the referee’s decisions that caused Morocco to miss two penalty kicks that many Shachelist referees considered to be penalties,” the statement added.
