- At the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Norway famously beat Brazil because of a penalty that turned into one of the most talked about moments of the event. Referee Esfandiar Baharmast from the USA discusses the controversy, and how he was vindicated despite quick assumptions.

Not only did he get the penalty call right, but what a fantastic advantage decision before Brazil's first goal. I bet many referees would have blown the whistle at the obvious trip, but he expertly let it play out and it resulted in a Brazil goal. Great refereeing all around.
Jeff Edwards first thing that struck me. Really brilliant advantage was played.
absolutely
I bet many players this days won't get up to play on. They al rolling.
Sorry for my English
@@appieb7138 I 100% agree. You are totally right.
Really good call. The camera's were to slow but the referee wasn't.
SalvaGaming problem was the camera director. He didn’t show the correct camera angles
Or the director did not have access to that camera on his available choices of cameras.
@@vika0194Back in 1998 the cameras weren’t synced so to speak, none of the official cameras caught this. The footage in question was from a Swedish news-channel who were only looking to have some footage for a quick report from the game for their evening news.
I'm a high school referee and seeing these videos gives me inspiration to aspire to become a FIFA referee someday. He's right, we do have the best seat in the house
Brandon Adame good luck.
Its been 6 years. How is it going?
He had balls to call penalty against Brasil... Imagine if it had taken them out of the turnament.. He would be put under protection from police... Still a great call.. Hats of to you sir...
I'm brazilian and i agree with you
It was penalty at the group stage when brazil already qualified
He had the balls to qualify Norway and chase out Morocco
Good to know that this man is teaching the referees of the future. Big ups.
I love Esse!! Had the honor of meeting him long ago during Ken Aston Camp in AYSO and he has been one of my referee idols ever since. He and "le pier" Luigi Colina are the greatest referees alive!
There are so few individuals who express the ideal of integrity by the way they live their lives on and off the pitch then the two referees you mention
I really enjoyed the story. Thanks fifa
I still have a VHS recording from Swedish Television from when they first released that footage from the camera shooting B-roll footage from behind the goal. They even have footage of asking the keeper Tafarel from the mixed zone whether it was a fair penalty and he said yes, it was correctly given since he saw it just as easily as the ref did. Such a nice vindication for the ref and it was nice that it happened so quickly since he was being killed in the media for that decision.
I remember this and being angry at the referee because I was one of those who thought he imagined that penalty. Then that camera angle emerged and I got angry at Junior Baiano. Instincts of a good referee, something that's missing these days.
Norway has won 2 games and draw 2 games against Brazil..We've never lost. Norway was ranked 2. on the FIFA ranking between October 1993 and August 1995.
Merci segnore. Clear pull of the shirt. The cameras never captured the precise moment of the fault, but the human factor did. Amazing.
This is why technology can never replace a human being. People make mistakes, but technology can't see everything either.
replace no, but its an extra pair of eyes that an referee can bring. i know for 99% for sure that 9/10 referees wouldnt have seen it.
how so? when actually another camera that taped the incident, amateur camera yes but it did the job so its still technology, but its not taht referee who only saw it, but the whole norwegian bench and the brazilians too , ppl in teh croud saw it , i had a freind that was watching in teh stadium and said that he saw it was a penalty and everyone around him saw it and thot so n was very shocked to see the press reaction the next day cause he said it was clearer than the moon, he (the defender) pulled his(andre flo) shirt so far that almost everyone there saw it..but to b honest with u i doubt in teh whole thing..
No, at the end it was the technology that showed he was right; not the "official one", but indeed technology.
The all position cameras (sky cam) will never miss anything
A really good call and the referee stands on the right position to see Baiano pulling the opponents jersey. Indeed, there was a reason to have some doubts about this decision, since from the perspective of the TV Camera there was nothing to see. Besides, it was a really stupid action by Baiano. There was no real danger in this action, so that he has to grab his opponent at the back of his shirt in the 89th minute.
Im Norwegian and am Thankful for that referee who wasnt afraid of others and put respectful football first
It was a robbery.
@@HTProducer How
@@HTProducer It was an obvious result. Norway together with Senegal are the only nations they've never beaten.
I'm sorry Mr. Referee! I thought you had wronged my squad...
+G Anderson
Squad ?
LOL !
Still think he made a bad call ?
Nope, I was wrong!
G Anderson
As we all are from time to time.
Have a better one :-)
Wow, someone admitting a mistake on the internet! What is the world coming to?
Well done, Sir:)
It's nice seeing a Brazil fan say this because I know it isn't easy to undo almost two decades of being 100% sure about something that turns out to be wrong. Kudos, G Anderson!
Wow this makes VAR truly a scary perspective. The guy behind the screen has to be very careful and professional when showing a replay for a VAR decision, even if he has to rewind something like 3 min. back. Referees will rely heavily on what is shown on screen so a huge responsibility will fall on the shoulders of the people handling replays at the WC in 2018.
More refs like him will make great matches
Now they cant get situation right... Even with VAR
More Brazilians and Moroccans should watch this video! LOL they still think the game was fixed!
VtochkaGtochka Juventus was
Why morrocans?
Itmum Rhythm Morocco was eliminated as a result of this game, had 4 points and 2nd place until the penalty.
Not this match but the final was fixed. Brazil got payed to lose....
@@earlyblue Who get the payment? Goal keeper?
The funny thing was that the decisive camera angle was from a SWEDISH TV company!
Really? Wasn't it just a swedish photographer? No video footage.
exentr you may be right
@@exentr 4:50 into the clip you see video footage and there is no doubt it's penalty.
@@mandalitten Indeed. There's the footage. I have seen proof before that it is a penalty. I just don't remember whether I have seen the video footage but I may as well have. No doubt that it is a penalty. Some moroccans do not question the penalty but they are convinced the result were rigged no matter what you tell them.
I am Moroccan and I still that day when his decision whish wrong costs us the elimination from f the world Cup.
FIFA is the definition of corruption
Vindicated
What a story
What courage
Did he get an apology from all that chastised him
Not sure about apology but yes, he was vindicated when the Swedish footage from behind the goal was released and he went from being called the worst ref of the world cup to being called the best.
*Norway vs Brazil 2-1 (1998)*
0-1 Bebeto (78 min)
1-1 Tore Andre Flo (83 min)
2-1 Kjetil Rekdal (88 min (PK))
🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷!!!.
I remember watching the game in 1998.
The brazilian commentator (Galvão Bueno) was shouting that this referee was crap, and the referee commentator (Arnaldo Cezar Coelho - former FIFA REF, was the referee for 1982 final) agreed with him, that the referee was wrong.
They kept saying and convincing us that the match seemed fixed, they showed the replay various times (but the angles were crap)
Wonder if they ever admitted they were wrong when that camera angle showed what Baharmast saw…?
While some referees can't see a player scoring with hand and some can see such an incidence of seconds from such a critical angle !👌
It was a great call from referee. Referee was 100% perfect 👍.Hats off to u sir.
hats off for the ref ❤👍
Stonewall penalty well done referee for standing up and being honest well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴. Top Referee
Awesome. We need honest match officials like him.
Great call and I am glad they have video footage of it.
Wow... what a story... great call Mr. Baharmast
Great call. Brazil lost to Norway in the World Cup!!!! WOW!!
we now have cameras all over the place that can get you anything but still I think VAR is used whenever it suits them.
Respect!
Thank you for big inspiration !
What a beast! True legend
proof that integrity exists
1/ food for thought now that every penalty is checked on video. Nowadays he would have had to cancel it.
2/ Before being vindicated, there was a time when the referee was harshly criticised. Remember that the Brazilian player did not support him after the match. This was a shame.
great call ref.
Explains why VAR may not work.
Someday they're gonna make one like this for Nestor Pitana vs Ivan Perisic's "handball" in 2018 final and the world will erupt with emotion.
I wonder how Mr. Baharmast felt about the use of VAR in the World Cup this year.
WOW THATS A HUGE PULL ON THE SHIRT
Good story , 16 cam vs 1 Ref😁
No. 1 camera director vs 1 ref... this was a result of a biased camera director
No VAR... And correct decision... What a great reff....
Why dont juz abolish penalty and start free kicks in the box....many controversies would have settled.
You try scoring a goal with a giant wall of players blocking the net
WHAT A MAN!
It was a penalty
The camera never showed the grab, wonderful job
But what websites show footage of different camera angles that weren't shown on TV?
Lol at FIFA releasing videos about how great their referees are. Now do South Korea in 2002.
Plot twist :
FIFA deliberately showed only the wrong angles so that people would call it fixed and then redeemed themselves.
Baiano respons skill too slow in world cup 1998 😀
Great man
And no need of VAR like these days
Salutes sir
....outstanding
Despite the evidence that was produced "two days later" ... many still view this as a terrible call - one that robbed Brazil of another WC. I didn't learn of this "vindication" until almost a decade after the match. It's so easy to vilify a referee - and nearly impossible to undo the vilification that accompanies such a high profile call. I always respected Baharmast as one of the great referees anywhere. As an American - I cringed at the controversy this call produced (so often it was referred to as further evidence that Americans had no business in the game).
How did it cost them the world cup? This was a group match. They still went all the way to the final and lost.
Brazil were already qualified from the group stage as winners regardless of this result, so no, it didn't cost them the World Cup. The media just couldn't accept that the 'mighty Brazil' were unable to beat a relatively unknown team like Norway. (and they still haven't to this day by the way)
We need Officials like this! We don't need VAR
Henry's handball vs Ireland?
Spain's disallowed goal vs South Korea due to incorrect linesman against Joaquin?
Ronaldo stomped in the belly vs City? Messi stomped on his hand vs Madrid?
Lampard's goal and Geoff Hurst's, both against Germany?
2 Ronaldo's goals vs Bayern in Bernabeu? We need VAR but it's the corruption in football that we don't need.
Clean FIFA, wise ref like in this match, and VAR. Football will be fair but boring (no drama anymore).
he is iranian orginally
🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲!!!.
To. This. Day. You can still hear Moroccans cry about how it should'nt been a penalty.
no we don't ;) It doesn't worth to cry after spilt Milk ;)
You can't imagine Mr. Baharmast how much Arabs hate you.
They still believe that you gave that penalty to Norway as a gift in order to take Morocco out of the tournament.
With VAR this would not have been a penalty because the cameras didn't see it .. good spot referee
There’s a lot more cameras available today than in 1998, so VAR would’ve definitely caught this.
great video
Boy...was he fortunate...
Great story
Good history, I remember the outrage. And then .............
If var was on that time, the referee wont need it
Eagle eye 🦅
Honest referee and the Brazilian is doing well, he must have had the red card ...
Awesome video
The only thing missing from this 2018 World Cup is African teams and even South American...European football is supreme but I like a little flavor in there...actually I take that back Croatia is playing AFRICA in the final!
Oh wait never mind Croatia is playing Africa in the final...forgot!
مؤامرة لي اطاحة بالمنتخب المغربي
هل شاهدت الفيديو ؟
WAY BRAZIL GIVE A PRECIEUSE PENALTY OF NORWAY A LOT OF MONEY
Incredible.
Fuck such 16 cameras, where were they focussing ? Riddle.
FIFA should not be using camera help because in the sport "football" its not a part of it,its just used for people to watch, which you used against zidane in 06
I think it will help the game to be less corrupt in a way. There are so many players who are getting to be professionals in faking fouls to where the referee can not tell the difference. Cameras will help get rid of this stuff.
Amazing
No codesal video ? Fifa ...
problem is, no ref will see everything, even var will miss things, so u need god ref, but god will always give it to brazil. football always doomed, just like man
respect
he did the right thing
No pelantii ???
Stolt av at jeg er nordmann🇧🇻
I'm a referee ...uughhhh I can soo relate
The righteous always triumph over the wrong
Yeah sure whatever, Morocco should have gone further to the next round but yeah
What does Morocco have to do with it?
Tom Kelly
Morocco was in the same group if Norway lose or draw Morocco qualify to the next round
Loved this so much haha
62 Moroccans disliked this video.
😁
Iraq defeated Brazil, Spain, and Germany in the 1980s. We were a great team. Do not forget that we were the best team in Asia in 2007, and the second best team in the Arab Gulf in 2013 Iraq, the only team in the world, won all the world championships, everything was won to the World Cup. This is not difficult. Hard work and teamwork
wow this was amazing
Should've done this with 2 referees of 2002 WC who blatantly pushed Korea over Italy and Spain.
I think one of them was caught recently with some dope and jailed for long time.
Too bad when Brazilians players get there shirts pulled like this there are no fouls called
Are you kidding by asking if I am kidding???? lol
Poor Morocco 🇲🇦.. was so oppressed. It’s obviously a fixed match between Brazil and Norway to kick Morocco out of the competition. Germany 🇩🇪 learned them a lesson ❤
🤡🤡🤡🤡
The Globo tv of Brazil to crash the Referee in 98.
Dis man is a legend.
He called it right indeed HOWEVER he showed as if Junior Baiano had jumped over the striker, the referee did NOT show Junior Baiano [defender] PULLING the striker's shirt, US referees has lots to learn yet....too much baseball, American football, hockey, etc
not at all. look at the referees hand movements - pull it down.
@@jbas7525 I was at that game back in 98 and I saw it live as well the referee showed it wrong
@@rioalexbrasil i am watching the referee hand movements. clearly we both have different intrepretations of the same signal
@@jbas7525 No I know what it is....you just hate Brazil because we WON 5 times the world championship, thats ok and natural most of ppl hating the stronger teams LOL. And let me guess, you are British right? hahaha
@@rioalexbrasil sure you have.. 7-1 at home . rofl rofl
👍👍
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The FIFA is responsible when they chose like this rubsh referee to be in world cup
Moroco fans should watch this video...
I think it was no penalty,but mistakes happen.
