Belgium vs Mexico
Paraguay vs Iraq
This match caused controversy as Iraq's Ahmed Radhi scored a header from a corner just seconds after the whistle blew for half-time so it was not counted. The referee, Edwin Picon-Ackong, received a lot of criticism for blowing the whistle when Iraq had such a big goalscoring opportunity.[1]
