FIFA on Wednesday ordered that a World Cup qualifier between South Africa and Senegal be replayed after the referee was found guilty of match manipulation and banned for life.
South Africa beat Senegal 2-1 in the qualifier last November, helped by a penalty awarded by Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey for a non-existent handball.
That result will be annulled and the game will be replayed this November, FIFA said.
FIFA found Lamptey guilty of breaching the rule relating to “unlawfully influencing match results” and banned him for life in March.
