Holger Osieck, the head of FIFA's technical study group, said that for the first time all 13 members would see detailed technical images of any dubious goals downloaded to their laptops. A verdict from the group would then be made as soon as possible.

FIFA also clarified on new regulations on own goals:

If a goal-bound shot bounces off a teammate into the opponent's goal, the goal will be awarded to the player who struck the ball towards the target in the first place.

If a goal bound shot is intentionally re-directed into an opponent's net, the goal will be credited to the player whose action produced the change of direction. If a shot is going wide and is then deflected or re-directed into the opponent's goal by a teammate or an opponent then this player will be credited with the goal.
