One of the most notorious refereeing decisions in World Cup history: a Netherlands player drove a raised boot directly into the chest of Spain's #14 during the 2010 World Cup Final, with the ball clearly in the air above — making this completely outside any genuine challenge for possession. Under IFAB Law 12, a kick at an opponent with excessive force that is not part of a challenge for the ball is violent conduct, which carries a mandatory red card. Referee Howard Webb showed only a yellow, a clear under-sanction that allowed the Netherlands player to remain on the pitch for the rest of extra time. With no VAR available in 2010, the incorrect call stood. The correct decision under the Laws of the Game was a red card to the Netherlands player, and the yellow shown to benefit Netherlands was a wrong decision that significantly affected the most important match in world football.
