The same FIFA record carries the debut and dismissal passage: "the 18-year-old entered the fray in place of Lisandro Lopez in the 63rd minute. Just 47 seconds later, he received the ball and spun away from Vilmos Vanczak, who grabbed a handful of shirt... Messi, though, retaliated with a stray elbow which saw him receive his marching orders." Characterised in the Phase 1 ledger as a retrospective feature. No URL survives in the corrections addendum.
