Mauritanian Referee Praised For Effective Performance In Inter Milan 2-1 Urawa Red Diamonds Clash – Three Correct Yellow Cards | OneFootball

Mauritanian referee Dahane Beida has won praise for his effective handling of yesterday’s Club World Cup clash between Inter Milan and Urawa Red Diamonds.

Today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, argue that the referee was fair and kept play moving well.

Inter Milan defeated Urawa Red Diamonds yesterday. They got their first win at the FIFA Club World Cup in their second group stage match.

Inter had to do it hard way. They trailed for the majority of the match, but won right at the end courtesy of a stoppage time winner from substitute Valentin Carboni.

This gave Inter something to really build on heading into their final group stage match against River Plate. They will feel confident they can book their place in the knockouts now.

Mauritanian referee Dahane Beida had the whistle for yesterday’s match.

And in a tournament where the spotlight is not just on teams from across the globe but also referees, the Gazzetta argued that Beida represented the West African nation well.

Beida was hardly strict with the player. He let a number of physical challenges go without blowing for a foul.

However, this aided the pace of the game, the Gazzetta argues.

Mauritania did not allow players for either team to badger him into giving decisions.

And when there was a blatant foul Beida had no trouble recognizing it.

There were three yellow cards in the match. None were for Inter players.

Veteran Urawa Reds goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa received a booking for continued timewasting, and he could have little complaint considering that it was fairly blatant.

Meanwhile, two Urawa Reds attacking substitutes also went into the book. Both Takahiro Sekine and Thiago Santana received yellows for fouls on Carlos Augusto.
