The referee also opts against booking Neymar for diving. On review he decides there wasn't enough for Neymar to go down like he did.

Costa Rica are furious and they are surrounding the referee. Gonzalez penalised for pulling back Neymar. It will be reviewed by VAR... and the referee has decided not to award the spot kick! Wow!
