Cote d'Ivoire played North Korea in what is a first for the tournament - nobody got booked, even after 5 minutes of stoppage time were played after the second half. Three goals were scored, all for Cote d'Ivoire.
Sadly, this good discipline hasn't managed to rub on to the scoreless Brazil v Portugal match that was taking place at that time: there were seven yellow cards, all of them in the first half. Fortunately none of them were already on a yellow from earlier on in the tournament and none of them were booked again.
Later, Switzerland took on Honduras. The score was 0-0 and five cautions were handed out, including one for Wilson Palacios in the 89th minute. Because this was Wilson's second booking of the tournament, he would ordinarily be suspended from his team's next match but Honduras are out of the tournament.
