29-Jun-2010 5:17:00 PMThe FIFA disciplinary committee has thrown out an appeal by the Ghana FA to reverse a one-match ban against key midfielder Andre Ayew.  


The youngster was booked for the second time in the World Cup during the match against USA, automatically barring him from featuring in the quarter-final clash against Uruguay on Friday.

Immediately after the match the Ghana FA requested to have referee Viktor Kassai’s decision looked into again and overturned after television replays showed that Ayew did not make any contact with
US striker Josy Altidore.




But the FIFA disciplinary committee pointed out that according to Article 72 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, disciplinary decisions taken by the referee during matches are final.

“However, according to article 77 b) of the FDC, the disciplinary committee is responsible for rectifying obvious errors in the referee’s disciplinary decisions.
