description: "Jesús Díaz Palacio is a retired Colombian football referee. He is known for having refereed two matches in the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. One of the matches, Iraq versus Belgium, caused controversy as Díaz gave a yellow card to Iraq's Basil Gorgis in a case of mistaken identity while the score was 2–0 to Belgium. Gorgis sarcastically applauded Díaz's incorrect decision which led to Gorgis getting sent off and Iraq lost 2–1."
