Football club Bnei Yehuda has filed a sharp complaint with the Referees Association against referee Aviad Shiloach and his team following their 4-3 extra-time loss to M.S. Ashdod in the State Cup on Wednesday. The club claims Shiloach's decisions were "scandalous" and "unacceptable," significantly impacting the game's outcome and leading to their elimination from the prestigious competition.

In a letter expressing "disgust and dismay," Bnei Yehuda stated that Shiloach's "erroneous and scandalous decisions" directly influenced the match, violating the rules of the game. The club highlighted a series of "unusual and significant decisions" that they believe favored Ashdod and undermined fair play and their chances of winning.

Bnei Yehuda also pointed out a statistical anomaly: in the 13 previous matches officiated by Shiloach involving their club, they suffered seven losses and had six draws. They requested a thorough review of all disputed incidents, including video analysis, and a professional assessment of Shiloach's suitability and competence, even suggesting a polygraph test.

The club further demanded that Shiloach be barred from officiating their matches, at least until the end of the current season. They are awaiting a professional and reasoned response from the association regarding each incident.
