Mac Allister awaits FIFA verdict after Algeria's complaint

Summary

Alexis Mac Allister is awaiting a decision from FIFA following a formal complaint from the Algerian FA after Argentina's 3-0 victory over Algeria at the 2026 World Cup. The complaint centers on referee decisions, particularly an incident involving Mac Allister and an elbowing accusation against Ibrahim Mazan, for which no card was issued. Argentina's Lionel Messi was also criticized for a challenge during the match that drew attention. With Mac Allister's performance vital for Argentina's campaign, any retrospective action would come as a surprise. Argentina will face Austria next at 6pm BST on Monday.
