Fifa said coaches and players were told before the World Cup that referees would punish the type of foul that led to Germany having an extra-time goal against Paraguay ruled out. Jonathan Tah thought he had put Germany 2-1 ahead, but after a VAR intervention referee Jalal Jayed disallowed the goal because Waldemar Anton was judged to have fouled Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill; the match finished 1-1 and Paraguay won 4-3 on penalties, with Tah missing the decisive kick, according to Yahoo Sports.
Fifa referees committee chairman Pierluigi Collina said officials had been instructed to penalize incidents where an attacking player blocks an opponent without attempting to play the ball, particularly when it prevents a goalkeeper from defending. Paraguay will play France in the last 16 in Philadelphia on Saturday (22:00 BST).
