Brazil controversial 2-1 win over Colombia; extremely unhappy with the referee’s decision. Brazil had a large share of possession but struggled to erase the deficit as Colombia held on doggedly. Brazil’s attack was rather tame in the first half and Colombia went into the interval with the lead.

In world football, referees have one of the toughest jobs, as every one of their decisions could have a major role in the outcome of the game, every referee has to make difficult decisions and will get criticized at some point of time by players, managers and the fans.

The ball had struck the referee, Nestor Pitana, and he seemed like he was going to blow his whistle before he let play go on and Brazil went on to score. The Colombian defense, expecting the referee to blow the whistle, momentarily shut down and Lodi whipped in across that Firmino duly converted.

The Colombians were extremely unhappy with the referee’s decision, which was upheld by a VAR check and had a long heated argument that didn’t affect the scoreline.

A referee’s decisions have a major impact on the game and it is important that common sense is displayed on the pitch. However, there have been a number of blatant blunders by officials in the past.
