It was the 66th minute of the match between Türkiye and Paraguay when, in a goal kick, Orlando Gillgoalkeeper of the South American team, took longer than necessary to put the ball into play and exhausted the patience of Ivan Bartonmatch referee. The Salvadoran referee made a sprint from midfield to go to Gill’s area and throw him a verbal warning. However, as he rode, he made a gesture with his right arm that seemed to signal a corner kick. Let us remember that, according to the new FIFA rules, Goal kicks must not be delayed for more than five seconds if you are deliberately wasting time. The Turkish players, hurried by the unfavorable 0-1 score, also started running towards the area where the protagonists of the action were, thinking that they would enjoy a corner in their favor. Even Deniz Gülforward of the Turkish team, snatched possession of the ball from the Paraguayan goalkeeper and sent a pass to the corner.

Given the misunderstanding, Ivan Barton He looked with an unfriendly face at the Turkish players, who were demanding the corner kick, and ordered it to be removed from power. Perhaps this confusion would not have occurred if the Salvadoran referee had simply followed the official regulations regarding time wasting with goal kicks. In fact, two hours before what happened, the Spanish referee Hernández Hernández lived a similar situation and He signaled a corner in favor of Brazil due to the delay in the goal kick by Haitian goalkeeper Johny Placide.

There are already several actions in which the criteria that the refereeing team is following do not agree with each other, which is generating many doubts for both the players and the coaching staff as well as the fans.
