Efficiency

Calls

There wasnt any match-decisive call for Schorgenhofer throughout the game. He missed some critical fouls in midfield duels. That caused a little bit tense for both side, but he seem to be determined on his decisions. He hasnt left players in doubt about his decisions. Hence, players respected his whistles. I observe at this tournament that referees have high willingness to rule advantage, referee has applied the rule every well in Min 81 which resulted in a critical goal attempt for Costa Rica. There was a very critical flag by AR2 in Min66 for Costa Rica which seem to be slightly onside to me.

2nd Stage Referees

That will be very hard for referee committee to decide, I guess. Because, most of referee performances were quite good at this tournament. Additionally I believe, Schorgenhofer case hasnt ended yet. We will see hin on 2nd stage. He was solid, but that perfect.
