One of the most exciting matches of this second round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup was the one between Poland and Saudi Arabia, as Robert Lewandowski's team defeated the Asian team after they had defeated Argentina in the opening match.

And the Peruvian who participated in this match was Kevin Ortega, as FIFA appointed him as the fourth referee of the match. However, his presence did not go unnoticed, as the refereeing team made a huge mistake that caused a lot of discussion, even upsetting a sheikh.

This happened in the final minutes (90+4'), precisely when a substitution was about to be made for Rene Hervard's team. Ortega confused the number of the player who was going to come in, causing a delay in the substitution.

This moment was quickly captured by international television, which also shows the astonishment of the player Hattan Bahebri and a sheikh behind him. Additionally, it shows the moment when the sheikh starts reprimanding him for making such a big mistake.

Despite this, Kevin's blooper was quickly resolved and the substitution could take place without major inconveniences, so this situation experienced at the Education City Stadium will remain as an anecdote.

Kevin Ortega will be the fourth referee again

It is worth mentioning that Kevin Ortega has been chosen once again as the fourth referee for the match between the United States and Iran, a match that will determine one of the qualifiers for the Round of 16 in Group B of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
