He added: “Captain Muhammad Adel told me that there is a large part in the leaked recording that is incorrect.”

He continued: “The tape of the match reaches the referees’ committee and the video company, and the leak will naturally be through one of the two parties. The dismissal of the referees’ committee does not mean that it is guilty, but it is a major shock in arbitration at that time, so that procedure had to be done.”
