Saudi Arabia 1 - 3 Australia
WC 2014 qualifiers - Asia 3rd round · 2011-09-06 Referee: Yuichi Nishimura

Great Performance

First penalty

The first penalty of the night was awarded to Saudi Arabia after little contact in the penalty box but Nishimura did not hesitate and rightfully awarded the PK and cautioned the Australian defender.

Second Penalty

Another penalty was awarded later in the match but this time it was for Australia. As the cross was coming into the penalty area, the defender did pull the hand of the Australian attacker and was rightly punished with a penalty.

Great eyes

The second penalty was a soured of a penalty that many international referees miss as well but Nishimura kept his eyes open and easily called a penalty. Well Done!
