Dodgy hand ends in replay

-

FIFA has ordered that a World Cup qualifier between South Africa and Senegal be replayed after the referee awarded a penalty for a non-existent handball and was banned for life for match manipulati­on.

FIFA says the game, which South Africa won 2-1 in November last year, will be replayed this November.

It says it made the decision to order a replay after the Court of Arbitratio­n for Sport upheld the life ban for the referee in question, Joseph Lamptey of Ghana.
