Additional informations or first happenings:
1. History was made at this tournament as the 'helping policemen from above' (video assistant referee system) was used for the first time for the 11 metre punishment for France. Also the first goal scorer is written in the report above.
2. First saved penalty: Lionel Messi (Argentina) did not convert it at 63 (63.08) as his effort was saved.
3. First missed penalty: again the 'birds view' system was activated for giving a penalty, but Christian Cueva (Peru) is the first player who missed a whole goal at 45+1 (45.42).
4. More penalties than matches: so far this is a record, as referees were more than happy to award 5 penalties at 4 games in 1 day.
