Keith Hackett Criticizes Handball Law
Keith Hackett, former PGMOL chief and ex-FIFA referee, has expressed his disagreement with the penalty given to Ethan Ampadu for handball during the Wales vs Belgium match.
Ethan Ampadu did not deserve to be penalised for handball
The incident occurred in the 17th minute of the game, when referee Daniel Siebert deemed Ampadu to have committed a handball offence, leading to a penalty for Belgium. Hackett attributes the decision to the subjectivity of the handball law.
- Wales needed a win to boost their chances of automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup
- The game started with Joe Rodon heading home for 1-0, but Belgium soon equalized with a penalty
Ampadu, who plays for Leeds, was the victim of a harsh decision, according to Hackett.
