The South African Sun Downs match and South Korean Hyundai Hyundai in the 2025 Club World Cup, the application of the referee applied a new law to work for the first time in history.
Sun Downs defeated Ulsan Hyundai with a goal without a response, in the first round of Group VI competitions, which also includes German Borussia Dortmund and Brazilian Flomeini, who tied without goals.
At the 84th minute of the match, French referee Clement Turban counted a corner kick in favor of Ulsan, after the Sun Downs goalkeeper, Renwin Williams, retained the ball in his hands for 8 seconds, exceeding the permissible limit in accordance with the new law.
The new law is replaced by the previous law, which was granted the goalkeepers 6 seconds to throw the ball or count against them an indirect free kick.
According to the new law, the goalkeepers are alerted after 5 seconds, by the ruling that will begin the countdown with the fingers of his hand, and if 8 seconds have passed since the guard retains the ball, a corner kick is calculated.
