Mr. Control

The most impressive thing that Pezzotta shows is that his style nips the players' potential protesting in the bud. He is there to decide and the others seem to accept that situation. That's why he's almost always in control, even when he's wrong...

Always on top of the action, the Argentinian referee didn't have any problems; he correctly used the yellow card when it was necessary. Pezzotta also tried to give the advantage and not to cut the game.

Penalty I

The match was heading towards the third and consecutive 0 - 0, but Robinho appeared, entered the Ecuador area and was fouled upon by an Ecuadorian defender. Here, Pezzotta was right: penalty. Robinho scored to make it 1 - 0.

Penalty II

15 minutes before the end of the match, a similar situation but in the "Penta" territory: a Brazilian softly pushed an Ecuadorian. And Pezzotta just said "nothing happened, go on", but he was wrong. He made other small mistakes, but this one was the most important.
