The Serbian Football Union (FSS) filed a complaint with FIFA against German Felix Brich's jury in a round-the-clock match in Group E of the World Cup 2018 against Switzerland on Friday. The Serbs lost 1: 2 dramatically to Djerdan Shachiri's late goal and reduced their chances of winning the semifinals.

"We have applied seven video testimonies that indicate the tendency of Brich's decisions against our national team, which reveals the yellow card's double standards, and he hurried to punish our key players and did not follow for the same rival defeats, commented by SPS. The main claim of the Serbs is a penalty kick in the second half with a score of 1: 1 for an offense against Alexander Mitrovic in the penalty area of ​​Switzerland.

According to information, Brix was informed that there was a reason to judge a penalty in the situation, but he felt that there was no point in pointing out the white point and refused to use the Video Replication System (VAR) to make sure his decision was correct. "The most obvious mistake was that he did not give a penalty to Serbia for a defeat against Mitrovic with a score of 1: 1 that could turn the game to our advantage." The whole world saw this penalty except for Brix , who had to consult with VAR , but it does not. "We are wondering why the controversial decisions are not being reviewed only in the matches of Serbia, and this also leads to the question of why this system is not used selectively," they wrote in the SPS.
