Small description of the match (extra-ordinary incidents etc.):Matchday 1 of group B in this FIFA Confederations Cup 2013. The match was played betweenTahiti (OFC national team champion) and Nigeria (CAF national team champion) in Belo Horizonte

(BRA) at Mineiro Stadium. Of course, this was a historic match for Tahiti, the first in a soimportant tournament and in a big stadium. They were just happy to be there, meanwhilethe Nigerian national team was in a totally different situation. They were going to defectthe competition, due to disagreements with the Nigerian Football Federation, but at the end

they were convinced to fly to Brazil and play the tournament. About 20,000 people wereon the stands, not a big attendance, anyway the match was played in a nice atmosphere.The referee Joel Aguilar from El Salvador had a very easy work. The game was not

Referee

Crucial Decisions (refer to penalty kicks, sending-off situations etc.)

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the referees decision

14Vallar (TAH) commits foul on Musa (NGA). A dangerous tackle, anyway hittingthe ball. Aguilar decides to give a verbal warning. The decision can be shared. Nomalice by Tahiti player.

30Nigeria has a big chance to score. Ujah (NGA) is alone in area against thekeeper, which is able to make a save, catching the ball. Good evaluation by thereferee in a anyway clear situation: no penalty.

41Omeruo (NGA) is correctly booked for a foul in a mandatory situation near thepenalty area.

Basic Observations (refer to the general application of the LotG, highlight thereferees tactical approach, personality, match control, management of the teamsand players, teamwork etc.).Please deploy short but precise and detailed sentences!

Positive Points

1. Control of the game, anyway in a very easy match to handle.

2. Communication with players, especially by verbal warnings.

3. The advantage was correctly used in one situation.

4. Excellent cooperation by assistants.

5. Knowledge of the Laws of the Game, YC given in a mandatory situation.

Points for Improvement

1.

The first goal of the match, scored by Nigeria, took place after a assist made byAguilar. He probably was not in the best position, anyway we must underline thatit came from a long ball and then a head-butt by Tahiti defender. Sometimes isreally difficult to prevent these situations. I cant consider it as a real mistake,nevertheless probably the next time he will try to find a better positioning.

2.In second half, he whistled a phantom foul in favor of Nigeria, too hasty decision.It was the only mistake in foul detection of the whole match.

3.1 minute of added time was given in first half, and the same happened in secondhaf. But in the second half there were many substitutions, injuries and otherwastings of time, so there isnt consistency in this choice.

Further observations (peculiarities of the referee revealing his character)

The referee was able to understand the particularity of the match, and for thisreason he decided to avoid a possible YC for Vallar (TAH) when he made adangerous tackle in the 14 minute of the first half. He preferred to talk giving averbal warning. We cant anyway point out too much from this match, its evendifficult to evaluate the consistency of the referee because at the end there

werent suitable situations. In the only one, he correctly gave a YC to Nigeriaplayer (41). Waiting for more challenging matches.

6 Missed a clear corner kick for Tahiti, after a save by Nigeria keeper.

17Caroine (TAH) is correctly evaluated onside. Difficult situation, excellent NOFLAG.

56 Ideye (NGA) is evaluated onside. Very good decision, in a crucial situation.

63Oduamadi (NGA) is ruled offside. Impossible to evaluate the situation, since thepass made by the teammate was missed by the broadcaster and there werent

replays. We trust the assistant.64 Ideye (NGA) is flagged offside. Correct decision.

65 Musa (NGA) is evaluated onside. Wrong decision, it was slight offside.

67Oudamadi (NGA) is flagged offsde while scoring. The decision to disallow thegoal is correct, the offside is very tight, but the player seems ahead at least by hisupper body.

Ravshan Irmatov executed well his duties as fourth official, nothing extra-ordinary to report. Fair behavior from the benches. He was really busy in secondhalf with substitutions.
