Graham Poll mistakenly booked Croatia’s Josip Simunic three times in the second-half before sending him off. (link: )

Šimunić was given three yellow cards in the match: the referee (Graham Poll) failed to send him off the pitch after the second yellow, and was only red carded after the third yellow. The original FIFA match report listed all three yellow cards, however was revised shortly after, with the second yellow card (90’) not being recorded; it is unknown whether this was for consistency in the reports, or whether the card was retrospectively overturned.
