CONCACAF: "Refereeing errors impacted the outcome of the game"

CONCACAF President Alfredo Hawit statement regarding the officiating of the Gold Cup 2015 semi-final match between Mexico and Panama:

“We met with both the Referee Department leadership and referee Mark Geiger. Mr. Geiger (photo), one of the best regarded referees in the region, with vast international experience and a proven track record, accepted that refereeing errors had been made during Wednesday’s match and that these impacted the outcome of the game. We, at CONCACAF, regret these circumstances, but accept that such human errors are part of the game.” (Source: CONCACAF)
