Completely overwhelmed by events, the match referee, Mr Ilgiz Tantashev, was surprisingly lenient with the Paraguayans.
Whether it was deliberate blows on Les Bleus or blatant fouls, a large number of more-than-borderline actions took place right in front of him and were never punished.
L'Équipe even gave Mr Tantashev a rating of 1, the lowest possible score in the sports daily.
So we compiled all the major fouls and bad challenges by the Paraguayans that went unpunished by the match referee.
