Egitto denounced referee Letexier after defeat at the World Cup

In a post-match interview, Mostafa Ziko, winger of the Egitto team, did not hesitate to criticize referee Letexier after his team lost 2-3 to Argentina and was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup. Ziko scored the opening goal for Egitto, but his team could not keep the advantage and allowed the opponent to come back.

Ziko said: "I would like to congratulate Argentina for their victory. However, this tournament was pre-fixed, they did not need to do anything more to get this victory." This player seemed very angry about the decision of referee Letexier, who did not recognize Ziko's own goal before Egitto increased the score to 2-0.

"The referee was unfair, unfair, unfair! He was always on their side from the beginning of the match," Ziko said, expressing disappointment not only in the referee but also in the decisions he made during the match. The player added, "He constantly tried to stop us and kept telling us to be quiet on the field."

Ziko and his teammates' dream of reaching the quarterfinals was shattered when they lost to the world champions, Argentina. The tears of Egitto players after the match showed great disappointment when they could not pass the round of 16. On the field, many players could not hold back their tears while others could only look into the distance, quietly reflecting on what happened during the 90 minutes of play plus extra time. From Romero's header to Messi's beautiful goal, and Enzo Fernández's decisive finish helped Argentina win and caused Egitto to leave the game.
