KALININGRAD: The Serbian soccer association said they have appealed to FIFA over referee Felix Brych’s officiating during the thrilling 2-1 defeat to Switzerland on Friday in World Cup Group E which jeopardised the nation’s hopes of reaching the last 16. “We have submitted seven video-recordings clearly showing Brych making decisions against our national team,” said a statement from the Serbian association. “The footage reveals Brych’s double standards in brandishing yellow cards, as he was quick to book our key players while he didn’t do the same at the other end.” Chief among their complaints was the decision to not award Aleksandar Mitrovic a penalty in the second half when the game was poised at 1-1, an incident where Brych chose not to consult the VAR.
