Ioan Igna (born 4 June 1940) is a Romanian former footballreferee and player. Igna played football at UTA Arad between 1957 and 1960 and 1964–1967 and at Știința Timișoara between 1961 and 1964, he became a referee in 1972.[1][2][3] He is known for having refereed two matches in the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, including an epic quarter-final match between Brazil and France. Igna made two controversial calls during the tie. In the second period of extra time, he did not penalise a foul by the Brazil goalkeeper Carlos on France attacker Bruno Bellone.[4][5] BBC commentator Jimmy Hill described Igna's decision to ignore the foul by Carlos as "an extreme mistake".[6] In the penalty shootout, he awarded a goal when Bellone's shot hit the post and the ball rebounded off Carlos before entering the goal.[4] The laws of the game were subsequently amended to specifically address the situation that occurred in the penalty shootout.[7]
