Most matches in the first round were fair and without trickery, in this match though the players tried a few tricks. Especially the Egyptians turned out to be really bad divers. Angola players were slightly better at it and they managed to fool the Japanese referee once or twice.
Twice Nishimura was pushed by an Angola sider, he let it be. Not all referees would have done that
He was right with all the cards and the penalty. He could have shown one or two more yellows.
Angola did not really play as a team, whenever a player entered the Egyptian side of the field he would try his luck with a shot. It even worked out well once. But that is not the way to get to the semi-final.
