FIFA changed the referee of the second leg after Uruguay's coach [[Jorge Fossati]] complain before the match. The original team were Belgians [[Frank De Bleeckere]], Mark Simons and Peter Hermans. Fossati said Belgium were neighbours of the Netherlands and  Australia's coach [[Guus Hiddink]] is from Netherlands. FIFA appointed a referee team from Spain to replace the Belgians afterwards.<ref>{{cite news|title=Uruguay coach lashes choice of refs|date=2005-10-29|work=Reuters|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-10-29/uruguay-coach-lashes-choice-of-refs/2135102}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Spanish refs to control second leg of Cup playoff: report|date=2005-11-05|work=Australian Associated Press|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/spanish-refs-to-control-second-leg-of-cup-playoff-report-20051105-gdmdxb.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250211164302/https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/spanish-refs-to-control-second-leg-of-cup-playoff-report-20051105-gdmdxb.html|archivedate=2025-02-11}}</ref>
