Football: Former Socceroos star Harry Kewell has called referees in Japan a 'disgrace' after this failed substitution cost his Marinos side a goal against Nagoya.
Socceroos legend Harry Kewell accused referees of “cheating” in a dramatic incident during his Yokohama F. Marinos team’s 2-1 defeat to Nagoya Grampus.
The opposition made a double change, but Kewell’s side bizarrely weren’t allowed to bring on their replacements before play restarted – leaving them a man down.Nagoya immediately took advantage as Tsukasa Morishima raced onto a long ball over the top of the defence and scored a brilliant first-time chip.“That is disgraceful,” Kewell raged at the referee after the goal. “That is a disgrace, that is a disgrace.”But only after the goal was scored was Yokohama able to make their substitutions.
Yokohama have two wins and two losses from their first four games and are already seven points off the title pace, though they have progressed to the Asian Champions League semi-finals for the first time in club history.
