At the Women's World Cup, the participants of the quarterfinals are becoming clear. The Women's football teams of England and Cameroon received special attention in the round of 16 matches, according to lrytas.lt.
England triumphed 3:0 (2:0, 1:0) against the Cameroonian team, but the match was not without controversy.
The players of the Cameroon team clearly lacked sportsmanship on the field, resorting to actions rarely seen in football.
The Cameroon players spat on their opponents, pushed the referee, and accused her of racism. The Cameroon team became disheartened and threatened to leave the field several times.
"I am proud of my players and their conduct, but I am ashamed of what our opponents did today," England's coach Phil Neville said in astonishment after the match. "I have never seen anything like it, it is sad, as no one could enjoy the game."
FIFA has initiated an investigation into the match, the actions of the Cameroon team, and the referee's performance.
However, FIFA announced that the work of the Chinese referee Qin Liang was excellent and she took all necessary measures, and the use of VAR and the red card for Cameroon's Alexandra Takounda were mandatory actions.
