Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has slapped a three-month ban on referee Abubakar Mturo after he failed to translate 17 laws of football.
According to Daily News, the incident happened during the February 5 Mainland Premier League match between Young Africans (Yanga SC) and Lipuli FC at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
During the match, the referee awarded Lipuli a controversial corner kick in a response to the players’ demand for a goal claiming the ball had crossed the line when Yanga goalie Metacha Mnata grabbed it and placed it at the post.
