Finale Sénégal - Maroc : L'argument totalement lunaire brandi par un juriste sur la presse marocaine
The Moroccan press is celebrating after the Confederation of African Football's decision to award them the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title by default, at the expense of Senegal. On Medias24, one of Morocco's leading news websites, Reda Belhoucine, president of the Court of First Instance in Ouezzane (Northwest), attempted to justify this controversial decision by the governing body of African football.
In a text, the legal expert put forward a completely ludicrous argument to explain Morocco's defeat against Senegal on January 18th. According to Belhoucine, the Lions of Teranga exerted enormous psychological pressure on referee Jean-Jacques Ndala, to the point that the winning goal, scored by Pape Guèye, should have been disallowed... for a foul, he claims, by Chérif Ndiaye on Moroccan defender Jawad El Yamiq.
"This temporary abandonment placed the officiating body in a position of extreme psychological vulnerability, altering the environment of the referee who, torn by the implicit threat of a definitive stoppage of the final, saw his priority shift from the strict application of the laws of the game to the absolute safeguarding of the event. This form of environmental intimidation found its most convincing illustration during the validation of the Senegalese goal, a sequence during which the referee, clearly paralyzed by the apprehension of a new incident, failed to penalize a flagrant attacking foul committed by the Senegalese player number 12, who deliberately pushed a Moroccan defender to open up the trajectory of his shot," writes Belhoucine on Medias24.
The president of the Ouezzane Court of First Instance added: "By thus deriving a direct and decisive benefit from his own irregularity, the striker violated not only Law 12 of the IFAB – which formally invalidates any action where a player pushes his opponent to unbalance him or clear the goal line – but also the universal principle that no one can benefit from their own wrongdoing, demonstrating de facto that the referee's silence stemmed from a freedom of judgment nullified by the psychological pressure of the supposedly temporary withdrawal." Unbelievable!
