Cleaver match for the qualification in the play-offs of the 2022 World Cup, DRC-Benin started on a very bad note this Sunday in Kinshasa.
After 8 minutes, the referee of the game, Eric Otogo-Castane, did not hesitate and whistled a very questionable penalty in favor of the hosts after the Congolese striker Ben Malango was very lightly retained in the box. by Beninese central defender Khaled Adenon. The contact exists but it is light and this kind of action is rarely sanctioned with a penalty, which was transformed by Dieumerci Mbokani. Remember that the VAR is not used in these qualifications and the protests of the visitors did not change anything.
In view of the stakes of the match, this penalty has not finished talking while the DRC, leading 1-0, is virtually qualified for the play-offs to the detriment of the Squirrels at half-time …
