Without a shred of bias, yes. Oman forward Muhsen Al-Ghassani is clearly in an offside position as Mohsin Johar feeds him with the all-crucial final pass. People think the match officials committed a major blunder in a match as important as this and FIFA officials ought to inspect this incident closely in order to prevent future controversies. Muhsen Al-Ghassani's goal proved to be the deciding factor as Oman edged past Sunil Chhetri and Co. in front of the home fans.
