During the final match between the United States and [[Japan women's national football team|Japan]], referee [[Bibiana Steinhaus]] (of Germany) brushed off Japanese appeals against a handball in the penalty area made by [[Tobin Heath]]. Replays showed a clear handball, and in post-match interviews, even [[Carli Lloyd]], Heath's fellow player who scored two goals during the match, admitted that the United States were very lucky to go unpenalised: "It was a clear handball, it hit her arm".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/london/soccer/story/2012-08-09/London-Olympics-US-soccer-handball-Brandi-Chastain/56918868/1 |title=This will be controversial: missed hand-ball call |newspaper=USA Today |accessdate=9 August 2012 |date=9 August 2012}}</ref> German newspaper ''[[Die Welt]]'' also picked up this issue.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.welt.de/sport/olympia/article108562928/Bibiana-Steinhaus-patzt-im-Olympia-Finale.html |title=Bibiana Steinhaus patzt im Olympia-Finale |newspaper=Die Welt |accessdate=9 August 2012|language=German}}</ref> |

Coincidentally, Steinhaus was also in charge when the same two nations met in [[2011 FIFA Women's World Cup Final|the final]] of the [[2011 FIFA Women's World Cup]] in [[Frankfurt, Germany|Frankfurt]], won by Japan on penalties. |

Notable events and controversies
North Korea – South Korea flag confusion
In the first day of the Olympic events on 25 July, the match between DPR Korea and Colombia was delayed by a little over an hour because the flag of South Korea was mistakenly displayed on the electronic scoreboard in Hampden Park. The North Korean team walked off the pitch in protest at seeing the South Korean flag displayed by their names and refused to warm-up whilst the flag was being displayed. They also objected to the South Korean flag being displayed above the stadium, even though the flags of all the competing countries were being displayed. The game then commenced after a delay and rectification of the error.[10]
Andy Mitchell, venue media manager for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), read out a LOCOG statement shortly afterwards:[11][12]
"Today ahead of the Women’s football match at Hampden Park, the South Korean flag was shown on a big screen video package instead of the North Korean flag. Clearly that is a mistake, we will apologise to the team and the National Olympic Committee and steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen again".
LOCOG's statement had to be reissued because it failed to use the nations' official titles, "Republic of Korea" and "Democratic People's Republic of Korea".[13]
British Prime Minister David Cameron added that it was an "honest mistake" and efforts would be undertaken to ensure such a mishap does not recur. However, North Korean manager Sin Ui-gun expressed reservations about whether the incident was a mistake of intention and said: "We were angry because our players were introduced as if they were from South Korea, which may affect us greatly as you may know. Our team was not going to participate unless the problem was solved perfectly and fortunately some time later, the broadcasting was corrected and shown again live so we made up our mind to participate and go on with the match. If this matter cannot be solved, we thought going on was nonsense. Winning the game cannot compensate for that thing".[14]
Canada–United States semi-final
During the semi-final match between Canada and the United States, a time-wasting call was made against the Canadian goalkeeper, Erin McLeod, when she held the ball longer than the allowed six seconds. This violation is called in international play, and is intended to be used during instances of time-wasting.[15] As a result, the American side was awarded a indirect free-kick in the box. On the ensuing play, Canada was penalized for a handball in the penalty box, with the American team being awarded a penalty kick, which Abby Wambach converted to tie the game at 3–3. The Americans went on to win the match in extra time, advancing to the gold medal game.[16][17] After the match, Canada forward Christine Sinclair stated, "the ref decided the result before the game started." FIFA responded by stating that the refeering decisions were correct and saying it was considering disciplinary action against Sinclair, but that any disciplinary action would be postponed until after the end of the tournament.[18][19][20]
