Faghani also officiated Mexico’s Club America and TP Mazembe from Conge in fifth place match.
“I enjoyed officiating at the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup. After a good performance in our first match between America and TP Mazembe, I was selected as the referee of final coach,” Faghani said.
There was a hint of handball as Lionel Messi controlled the ball from Neymar and scored the first goal.
“Sometimes in football, video footages show what really happened. The world of football has accepted that. After the end of the match, nobody talked about the matter,” Faghani stated.

I need to keep my readiness until the competition,” Faghani concluded.
