Referee Sentenced to Life, Game vs South Africa Senegal in World Cup Qualification Repeated

FIFA has ordered South Africa's match versus Senegal in the 2018 Africa Cup qualifying zone repeated. This is related to the life sentence imposed on the referee who led the game. Ghana referee Joseph Lamptey was severely punished for his controversial decision on South Africa vs Senegal on 12 November 2016. In a 2-1 win over South Africa Lamptey awarded South Africa with a penalty for Kalidou Koulibaly's handball. But, replays showed that the ball was actually about Koulibaly's knee. FIFA considers Lamptey to have manipulated matches. FIFA also forbids it to engage in all activities related to football, both national and international, for life. The punishment for Lamptey is confirmed by the recent Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling. As a follow up, FIFA ordered that South Africa vs Senegal game be repeated. A repeat match will take place in November. "The match will be repeated at the international break of November 2017, with the exact date to be announced in due course," FIFA said in a statement quoted by Reuters. "As stated in the World Cup rules, this decision will take effect immediately, but awaiting confirmation from the organizing committee for the FIFA Competition at the next meeting, scheduled for September 14." Senegal and South Africa are third and fourth respectively in Group D qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in the African zone. Both teams are under Burkina Faso and Cape Verde. Only the champions of each group who qualify for the finals.
