The official Olympics website shows that Glen Nyberg, the referee who caused a major blunder in the Argentina vs. Morocco match, will continue to officiate the matches.
The Argentina vs. Morocco Olympic men’s football match was dubbed “one of the most embarrassing moments in Olympic history”. The controversial 15-minute added time and Argentina’s last-minute equalizer resulted in fans rushing onto the pitch, causing chaos. The match seemed to stop and start, leaving the audience and the media confused. Afterwards, both teams were called back to the pitch to finish the last 3 minutes. Argentina’s equalizer was then disallowed by VAR.
The referee, Glen Nyberg, was criticized heavily after the chaotic match. The Argentine Football Association also said it would appeal the decision, but FIFA seems to still trust him. Official information shows that Nyberg will officiate the New Zealand U23 vs. USA U23 match. This match is very important for the US team, who lost their first game. Their opponent, New Zealand, won their first game and is in a strong position to advance.
