1
ARG 1x1 MEX (regular time),
ARG 2x1 MEX (extra time–in fact, already at the end of 1st half extra time).
2 A match that grew dramatic, owing to the weakest officiating in the current World Cup (2006)– to brief match account.
Despite Valentín Ivanov's flashing an unprecedented number of sixteen
and four
, the Russian referee was unfortunately unable to keep a tense match under control, there being little football to enjoy, at the end of things, though plenty of delaying & other non-sporting tactics.
See .
3 Odd end of match: ITA 0 x 0 AUS up to when Spanish referee Luis Medina Cantalejo surprisingly called a very last minute and controversial penalty that rescued an exhausted and undermanned Italian side from having to endure the 30-minute extra time that looked inevitable. Italy's Fabio Grosso appeared simply to have tripped over just grounded Lucas Neill, who fell while trying to prevent a crossing.
