Exciting match and MO cool throughout. Could have showed a RC to at least one Saudi player but nothing obvious and I think the match benefited from his judgement.

He also arguably should have sent off a Mexican player very early who pushed him after getting cautioned. (Wild game. Mexico goes out by being one down on goal differential, having two properly pulled back for OS. Without the SA goal at the end, Mexico would have been out on Fair Play points 5-7.)
