[edit]Ranking of third-placed teams

Group	Team	Pld	W	D	L	GF	GA	GD	Pts

D	Northern Ireland	3	0	1	2	2	6	−4	1

Starting with the 1994 World Cup, teams were awarded three points for a win rather than two, to encourage more offensive tactics. Had those rules been in place, Hungary would have finished ahead of Bulgaria for the 15th seed, and Uruguay would not have advanced.

[edit]Disputes

• Some sources, including the official FIFA match report, credit the fifth Soviet goal against Hungary to Ivan Yaremchuk rather than an own goal. The Complete Book of the World Cup 2006 by Cris Freddi says: "Dajka's tackle knocked the ball beyond his own keeper after the Soviets had inter-passed on the edge of the box…". The article FIFA World Cup goalscorers counts the goal as an own goal
• See also the final paragraph in the 'Second round and quarter-finals' section above for Maradona's "Hand of God" goal
• During the match between Brazil and Spain, the Spanish team had a shot that was later proved by television slow motion replays to have bounced behind the goal line after hitting the crossbar. No goal was awarded, as none of the match officials could be sure that the ball had crossed the line, and Brazil won the match 1–0^{[citation needed]}
