More than 200,000 people have signed a petition addressed to the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) to demand a replay of the World Cup final in Qatar between France and Argentina.
The match witnessed exciting events, as Argentina scored first from Lionel Messi’s penalty kick, before the tango dancers added Angel Di Maria’s second goal before halftime.
And the game continued with the score 2-0 until the 80th minute, when things seemed to be going swimmingly towards a comfortable crowning of Argentina at the World Cup for the third time in its history.
But the roosters managed, through their young star, Kylian Mbappe, to fix the score in just two minutes, first scoring from a penalty kick and then netting the second just 90 seconds later.
The game finished as a two-goal draw in its original half and went to extra time. In the second extra time, Messi scored the third goal for Argentina, but Mbappe managed 3 minutes before the end of the second extra time to score the equalizing goal from a penalty kick.
The decision went to penalties, which saw Messi and his teammates smile, 4-2, after Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez saved Kingsley Coman’s shot, before Aurelien Chuamini missed another shot.

And claim petition The refereeing of the match is unfair, because the Argentine penalty “wasn’t there”, in addition to the fact that there was an error on Mbappé before Di Maria’s goal, according to the petition.
Despite the huge number of signatures on this petition However, there is no chance of a rematch, and this has never happened before with more controversial decisions such as the penalty that awarded Germany the World Cup against Argentina in the 1990 World Cup final, as well as the sending off of two players Argentinians in the final.
