Kids react to World Cup play-off referee mistake

The referee who awarded a penalty against Northern Ireland during their World Cup play-off defeat by Switzerland says he made a mistake.

Ovidiu Hategan ruled that Corry Evans blocked a shot with his arm during the first leg, despite replays showing the ball struck the player's shoulder.

The Romanian will not be used as a referee at the World Cup in Russia.
