It was not easy sailing for the Balkan side, however, as Ivory Coast continued to organise dangerous attacks until the 35th minute when Milan Dudic handled the ball in the area and Mexican Referee Marco Rodriguez ruled a penalty kick plus a yellow card for the offender.
Međutim, nije sve išlo glatko za tim sa Balkana, pošto je Obala Slonovače nastavila da organizuje opasne napade sve do 35. minuta, kada je Milan Dudić igrao rukom u šesnaestercu, a meksički sudija Marko Rodrigez dosudio penal, a uz to Dudiću dao i žuti karton.
