Maradona calls for Mexico-Panama replay

Argentina football legend Diego Maradona has demanded CONCACAF replays the Gold Cup semifinal between Mexico and Panama.

Diego Maradona posted his support for the Panama players, and his clear disdain for all things Mexican football, after Thursday's CONCACAF Gold Cup controversy.

Mexico overcame Panama 2-1 after extra time, not before a shocking penalty call by American referee Mark Geiger that allowed Miguel Herrera's side to equalize deep into second-half injury time in regulation.

Maradona, owner of the famous 'Hand of God' moment in the 1986 World Cup, called for the semifinal to be replayed and for Geiger to lose his job following the controversy.
