Rare incident: The player who scored a goal in the World Cup took the referee's watch
In the match between Paraguay and Türkiye, a rare incident occurred when the referee lost his watch amid tension, leading to discussions about the player's behavior.
After nine days, the world championship has seen one or two strange moments. But what happened in the encounter between Paraguay and Türkiye belongs to a separate category. "What goes through a player's mind in a situation like that? I mean, seriously," refereeing expert Patrick Ittrich said on MagentaTV's Breakfast Club, seemingly speechless at the bizarre sight during the match. The referee paused the match just before half-time as Paraguay striker Isidro Pitta lay on the field. The referee then tried to stop a major brawl. In the process, he dropped his watch.
