Career
He refereed two matches in the 1998 in France: Scotland v Norway at the Parc de Lescure in Bordeaux, and Chile v Cameroon at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes. In the latter game, Vagner was at the centre of controversy when he disallowed a seemingly good goal by Cameroon"s François Omam Biyik that would have put the African team into the second round, ostensibly for a push by Patrick Mboma on a Chilean defender a split-second earlier. television replays did not appear to support Vagner"s decision, and he was verbally abused by Cameroon FA officials as he walked off the field after the game.
