Exhibit GArgentina 3–2 Egypt — World Cup 2026, Round of 1690

The Checks That Never Came

Same match, minutes before Enzo Fernández's winner: a shirt-grab on Fathy in the box and a Salah appeal — no review for either. ESPN noted the shirt-pull was arguably more impactful than the foul that erased Ziko's goal. Egypt's coach: 'We have been treated unfairly.' One match, two thresholds — or so the jury alleges. Rule on the silence.

The facts, as presented
Decision
No penalty given (two appeals)
Referee's call
Letexier waved play on both times
VAR involvement
Checked silently; below intervention threshold per ESPN
Outcome
Enzo Fernández scored the winner at 90+2; Argentina reached the quarterfinal
