FIFA said Mateo Lahoz should go home but people thought sending him home by FIFA is due to something or mistake he has done but I don't think it's that because the more match keeps reducing, it's the more they are sending the referees home but what made his own become news is because there was so much controversy in the Netherlands versus Argentina's match. Presently, they don't need more than 4 referees in the tournament until the tournament would finish and FIFA have to send them home so as to avoid the cost of the money that they spend because the referees are sleeping in hotel that FIFA pay for, so referee sleeping in an hotel while they don't have work to do is not suppose to happen.
The official that they need in each match now is like 8, just 4 referees and Mateo Lahoz is one of the referees, not other officials, so he should be send home as he have nothing more to do. The semi final that would happen is Argentina versus Croatia and France versus Morocco, that is two Europe, one from South America and one from Africa, and European can't officiate for the country from Europe so it's better they choose the referee from another continent. So Mateo Lahoz's work is finished in the World Cup and in the match that he officiated was a fair one because I expected red card in the match but it didn't happen, good 15 yellows cards without red card is strange but he managed the match very well.
Although the technical staffs also collected among the 15 yellow cards but for Mateo Lahoz to manage that 15 yellow cards with no red card is what is rare to do among the referees. Harry Maguire blamed the referee that officiated the match between England and France that the referee is the reason why they lost the match but in this ongoing World Cup, they always have excuse when they are sent home, just like Bruno Fernandez and others blamed FIFA for making referee from Argentina officiate their match but Mateo Lahoz is a referee that has no controversial, he did well in the match that he officiated but he has to go home because his work has finished.
