Beenhakker slams referee Webb

Poland were leading at the Ernst Happel Stadium until the 93rd minute when Ivica Vastic scored from the spot after Mariusz Lewandowski was penalised for holding Sebastian Prodl's shirt.
"Maybe he (Webb) wants to show he is a big boy and has the guts to do it, I don't know," Beenhakker said. "I've never had a problem in 43 years of being in football but this is something I cannot understand. We don't have it in our own hands any more and the conclusion is we are out of the tournament."
Poland can still qualify for the quarter-finals but need to win against Croatia, who are the first to go through from Group B after beating Germany 2-1. Even then they are relying on other results going their way.
"It's impossible to accept but I am working on it," he said,
"I'm very satisfied with the boys, I have no complaints about the boys."
Austria also had reason to be upset with the officials as Brazil-born playmaker Roger Guerreiro was offside when he tapped in his first goal for Poland.
"I was told the Poland goal was offside but if the referee does not whistle it is a goal," said Austria coach Josef Hickersberger.
