László Vágner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The native form of this personal name is Vágner László. This article uses the Western name order.

László Vágner (born December 24, 1955) is a Hungarian former football referee.

He refereed two matches in the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France: Scotland v Norway at the Parc de Lescure in Bordeaux, and Chile v Cameroon at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes.

In the latter game, Vagner was at the centre of controversy when he disallowed a seemingly good goal by Cameroon's François Omam Biyik that would have put the African team into the second round, ostensibly for a push by Patrick Mboma on a Chilean defender a split-second earlier. TV replays did not appear to support Vagner's decision, and he was verbally abused by Cameroon FA officials as he walked off the field after the game.
