In addition, Elfath was the fourth official for Mali’s spot-kick success over Argentina on Tuesday. Mali were runners-up in Group E and held six-time champions Argentina to a 2-2 tie after extra time, and then progressed after penalty kicks.

Italy, who won Group B, secured their place in the quarterfinals with a 1-0 victory in the Round of 16 over the host nation.
