The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has filed a complaint to seek a probe into the contentious goal awarded to Qatar during India's must-win clash against them in a FIFA World Cup qualifier game in Doha.
Yousef Aymen's equaliser in the 73rd minute was awarded to Qatar despite the ball clearly going out of the playing area. Qatar's Hashmi Hussein dragged the ball into play before Aymen seized the opportunity and converted it into a goal.
The Indian players expressed their displeasure at the South Korean referee Kim Woo-Sung's decision and even protested for a while but it all went in vain as the on-field official upheld his decision.
Iran's Hamed Momeni was the match commissioner for the fixture and the AIFF has lodged a complaint with him.
"We have lodged a complaint with the match commissioner and are seeking a thorough investigation into the whole thing," an AIFF official said.
