[(Title)] World Cup breaks penalty kick record with help of video assistant referees

There have now been more penalties awarded in the 2018 World Cup in Russia than in any previous edition.

2018年世界杯在俄罗斯举行的比赛中，受罚比以往任何一期都多。

Cristiano Ronaldo's saved effort following a VAR review against Iran was the record 19th spot kick awarded in the tournament, which has yet to reach the knockout stage.

对伊朗的比赛中，经视频助理裁判审议，克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多的点球是冠军杯中创纪录的第19次，尚未进入淘汰赛阶段。

A VAR review later gave Iran a penalty in stoppage-time.

视频助理裁判进行复核，伊朗受到处罚。

Thus far, 15 of the 20 total penalties have been successfully converted.

到目前为止，20项罚款中的15项已成功转换。

In Brazil four years ago, there were only 13 penalties in the entire tournament. The previous World Cup record of 18 was first set in 1990, then matched in 1998 and 2002.

四年前，在巴西，整个锦标赛中仅有13项处罚，前18项记录最初是1990年设定的，随后在1998年和2002年作了相应的记录。

The role of VAR goes a long way to explaining this trend, with seven penalties so far being awarded following a video review and VAR has also confirmed referees' decisions on the field on several occasions.

视频助理裁判在解释这一趋势方面还有很长一段路要走，迄今在进行视频审查之后已判以7项刑罚。

That said, this World Cup would be on course to beat the tally of 18 eventually even without VAR.

也就是说，这次世界杯即将打破18次处罚的记录，即使没有视频助理裁判。

A penalty was also disallowed in Brazil's win over Costa Rica on Friday after VAR deemed there not to have been a foul on Neymar,

在巴西周五击败哥斯达黎加胜利时，巴西也不准予以处罚，因为视频助理裁判认为对Neymar犯规。

while in Saudi Arabia's game against Egypt for the first time the referee rejected an official review of a spot kick he had given.

在沙特阿拉伯和埃及的比赛中，裁判第一次拒绝正式复审他所给予的点球。

If the current rate continues, the World Cup is on course for a total of more than 30 spot kicks being awarded by the tournament's end.

如果以目前的速度继续下去，本届世界杯将获得30多个点球。
