Uruguay vs Scotland 1986
Quiniou gained notoriety during the 1986 World Cup group stages when he sent off Uruguay's Jose Batista in the first minute of the match against Scotland, after a rough tackle on Gordon Strachan. This remains (in 2014) the fastest dismissal in World Cup history.[1]
Bulgaria vs Italy 1994
Quiniou received criticism for his performance at the 1994 FIFA World Cup Semi-final between Bulgaria and Italy. Several penalty claims by the Bulgarians were turned down, most notably when Alessandro Costacurta handled the ball inside the penalty area.[2]
