Effendi以不畏的勇氣把球直接射進自家大門。印尼隊也如願地避開了東道主越南隊。這個不公平競爭行為引起了四面八方的球迷的譴責之聲，於是FIFA向兩隊判罰$40,000美元的罰款（原因：違反公平比賽競爭），結果此球員隨之而來的就是被終身禁止參加國際賽（成了世界第一個球員因為射進烏龍球而被終身禁賽的球員）、國內聯賽禁賽一年。此烏龍球成爲了世界上最恥辱的烏龍球，但兩隊並未因此取消比賽資格。\n2014年10月，印尼足球甲級聯賽中的斯里曼及三寶壟隊都不願贏得比賽，以避免在半決賽遭遇據說有黑幫挺腰的婆羅洲隊。結果最終斯里曼隊3比2「贏」得這場比賽，5個進球都是烏龍球，作為證據的比賽錄影顯示過程中，當足球滾向自家球門時，門將直接走開。之後12位球員、教練及領隊被終生禁賽，包括兩位外籍球員在內的17位球員禁賽5年，就連11位替補球員也禁賽1至5年。兩隊都取消之後比賽資格，積分都是0分，罰兩隊1億印尼盾。婆羅洲隊主席Nabil Husein Said Amin家庭和黑道有來往，該隊球迷曾對其他隊不禮貌，婆羅洲隊因此事反而奪冠並成為當年度唯一升級進進入了2015年超級聯賽的隊伍。\n2018年世界盃足球賽，32強分組賽時，H組的日本、塞內加爾、哥倫比亞及波蘭各完賽兩場，取得4、4、3、0的積分。在第三戰日本對波蘭之戰，日本只要能和局就可晉級16強，但日本隊久攻不下波蘭的球門，反而在59分鐘時讓波蘭攻下球門贏得一分，日本隊以0比1落後一分。同一時間比賽的塞內加爾對戰哥倫比亞，塞內加爾也只要和局即可晉級16強，但也以0比1落後哥倫比亞。日本隊總教練西野朗因而透過隊長長谷部誠下達「拖時間、不要冒險、不要犯規、不要得牌」的指令，以致於比賽最後15分鐘成為垃圾時間，日本隊不再積極進攻，開始不斷地在中後場互傳、無意義導腳。比賽終場日本雖以0比1輸給波蘭，取得4分的積分，但與積分相同的塞內加爾同為1勝1負1平各積4分、4進球4失球0淨勝球的完全同分狀態，兩隊依「公平競賽分數」規則，日本在分組賽拿到4張黃牌扣4分，塞內加爾6張黃牌扣6分，因此使日本與哥倫比亞晉級16強。但最後15分鐘的消極比賽引起批評，總教練西野朗賽後受訪表示，為了能使球隊晉級16強，這是不得不為的做法，他自己並不樂意這樣做[1][2]。\n瑞士制結合了循環賽與淘汰制的特點，一般認為是最合理的賽制。","schedule":null,"title":null,"tournament_type":"roundrobin","handicap":-1,"rules":"japanese","time_per_move":17280,"time_control_parameters":{"system":"fischer","pause_on_weekends":false,"time_control":"fischer","initial_time":259200,"max_time":604800,"time_increment":14400,"speed":"correspondence"},"is_open":true,"exclude_provisional":true,"group":{"id":2807,"name":"每星期圍棋GP","summary":"","require_invitation":false,"is_public":false,"admin_only_tournaments":false,"hide_details":false,"member_count":19,"icon":"https://cdn.online-go.com/5.1/img/default-group-v5.svg"},"auto_start_on_max":false,"time_start":"2018-09-08T16:00:00Z","players_start":2,"first_pairing_method":"slide","subsequent_pairing_method":"slaughter","min_ranking":5,"max_ranking":38,"analysis_enabled":true,"exclusivity":"group","started":"2018-09-10T15:19:14.862082Z","ended":"2018-09-11T11:11:52.482491Z","start_waiting":"2018-09-10T15:19:14.589464Z","board_size":19,"active_round":null,"icon":"https://cdn.online-go.com/5.1/img/default-group-v5.svg","player_count":2,"ranked":true}]}
