In a World Cup with hardly any controversy, the Mexican referee Ramos Palazuelos took the spotlight for the first controversial decision of the tournament with the goal disallowed to Vinicius in Brazil-Scotland. In the 22nd minute, Vinicius put pressure on Hendry, stole the ball from him and scored before Gunn came out to score what, at that moment, was his second goal. However, the referee went to the VAR, reviewed the action, understood that the Madrid striker had committed a foul and made the decision to annul the goal. At that moment Vinicius already had a goal in his locker and if this goal had been valid, the Brazilian would have finished with the first hat-trick of his World Cup career.
