During the night before Monday, FIFA announced that the Dutch referee had been assigned to Sweden's round of 16 match.
Earlier in the tournament, he refereed USA–Paraguay and Morocco–Haiti.
The Dutchman made headlines during the USA–Paraguay match when, after a VAR review, he chose to rescind a yellow card for Tim Ream and instead issue a warning for simulation to Paraguay's Miguél Almiron.
An assessment that may have deviated from the rules on how VAR should be used, according to the BBC.
