Former Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has publicly criticized the officiating during the Brazil-Morocco match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Appearing as an analyst for Fox Sports, Ibrahimovic expressed surprise that Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi was not penalized for a challenge on Brazilian player Vinicius Junior late in the first half. He argued the incident warranted intervention from the referee, emphasizing the need to protect players on the field. Ibrahimovic believes a booking for Hakimi was justified given the nature of the tackle. The comments have sparked debate regarding the standard of refereeing in the match and the consistency of decisions. This critique adds to ongoing discussions about fairness and player safety in international football. The incident occurred before the end of the first half of the game.
