South Africa 1-1 Mexico | Modise denied penalty for clash with Rodriguez


Description of incident: Mexico were split right down the middle and Modise raced clear. Rodriguez tracked back and challenged Modise for the ball who went tumbling to the ground calling for a penalty.

Date of Game: Friday 11th June 2010

Home Team: South Africa | Away Team: Mexico

Referee: Ravshan Irmatov (UZB) | Linesman: Rafael Ilyasov (UZB) & Bahadyr Kochkarov (KGZ)

Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict:

Decision Difficulty: 2/5 | Affect on result: 5/5 | Score: 7

Affect on Result: If a penalty had been given, it would have most likely led to a 2-0 lead to South Africa, so this had a massive affect on the final score | Winner: Mexico | Loser: South Africa

Players Involved: Teko Modise (South Africa) & Francisco Rodriguez (Mexico)

Summary: For me, this was a fairly straight forward decision but I'm sure there are a lot of people that would disagree. I just think it was shoulder-to-shoulder and if that was a foul, it's a sad day for football as a contact sport.
