Fifa has removed television monitors from the sidelines in the
Confederations Cup following Premier
League referee Howard Webb's controversial penalty
decision on Monday.
The president of world football's governing body, Sepp Blatter,
confirmed the step had been taken after Fifa examined the award of
the critical spot-kick in the match between Brazil and Egypt,
reports The Guardian.
"There is no more video use in front of the fourth official on
the side of the field," Blatter said. "So now no one can say there
is interference in any decisions on the basis of video."
The African champions filed a complaint over the manner in which
Webb arrived at the crucial decision to hand the Brazilians a
90th-minute spot-kick in Bloemfontein.
Egypt claimed the officials referred to video evidence, which is
against the rules, to make their decision.
