    Predictable to see Skomina in Barcelona:)
    Vincic as AVAR - something new

    Kralovec, Kassai seem to be the only elite referees not be appointed in these two days neither for Cl nor in UEL
    Do you know if Kassai is still injuried

      Kassai had been appointed for MD1 and then he got injured, for sure he couldn't recover before this matchday. So we can expect him for MD3 or 4 if available. Kralovec is injured from a long time (it was reported on the blog, I asked for that). He had a surgery in Germany or something like that.
      About the missing Category 1 referees, first ame coming to my mind is Aghayev, also mentioned on the blog.

    It's first game for Istvan Kovacs with VAR in Champions League. I hope that his AR will know the VAR protocols when they raised the flags.

    Interesting start for Kovács: the atmosphere is hot, I didn't expect that in this game. He has a very high threshold for foul detection and he is allowing a certain physical play. Already spent a warning for a player from home-team for a late challenge close to sideline.
    So far a very convincing approach. Let's see how the game will turn.

    Expected level first half by Kovács. Both teams focused on football, referee was in the "background" ready to intervene. Nice performance so far.

  9. Quilava2 October 2019 at 19:45

    Overall I liked Kovács during 1st half.

    50' - mandatory YC issued to Ito (Genk), three minutes later possible YC for Lozano (Napoli), stopping a quick counterattack, however given that the action was not 100% clearly promising and the holding not that blatant, no card is still supportable.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Chefren2 October 2019 at 20:20

    65' - correct YC to Milik for a reckless challenge from behind. A few seconds before referee in communication with VAR following a corner kick decision (they checked a possible handball by defender who deflected the ball in corner). So far still a good performance when 25 minutes are still to be played.

  12. Chefren2 October 2019 at 20:28

    75' - small reaction by a player from Genk against AR2 after a reported foul. However, given that he was rather calm, I can accept play on without booking.

  13. Chefren2 October 2019 at 20:31

    78' very, very clear YC for SPA. Good decision by Kovács.

  14. Chefren2 October 2019 at 20:48

    Good performance by Kovács, to be honest not a big test in second half, very fair game. I think he can get a second appointment in CL.

      Maybe in MD 5 or MD 6, because Kovacs and other four from the first category are going to Brasil, for WC Under 17. Before they go to Brasil, I think that they will be appointed for European qualification.

    Two early YC from Skomina. Both very clear.

    Incorrect offside decision from AR2 in Barcelona but he followed the protocol and only put the flag up after the attack petered out.

    Interesting situation before 1-0 by Zenit. Possible foul, but for sure no VAR stuff. Correct decision to back referee there.

    And third to Pique...not an easy beginning

      Correct decision. Trailing leg of Pique caught the player. But your right. This could be a really tough game.

    Penalty by Orsato to Valencia: correct decision.
    Meanwhile it looks like Skomina is a bit struggling with yellow cards in Barcelona. Challenging beginning of the game.

  21. Fidje2 October 2019 at 21:31

    Orsato with a intense match. Both teams going for the attack. First YC after 10min (correct), penalty (correct) and 2nd YC for AJA in min 21.

    Foul detection is oke. First 20minnlot of advantage and no whistles for small fouls. After min 21 one can see a stricter line and more small fouls being punished.

    Good news for Kulbakov with a goal regularly allowed after the issues he had during U21...

    Correct offside decision by AR2 in Barcelona to disallow goal.

      Given the very clear offside one can still discuss about the opportunity to delay the flag... but better that for sure, than a mistake.

      Very risky challenge by Piqué there. Orange card.
      For sure correct by VAR to support this YC, but I think a RC would have been backed as well. Very, very dangerous.

      Correct YC for Busquets by Skomina

    I believe it will be very intense 2nd half. Good to have experienced referee.

    Now a possible penalty for Inter, Skomina had his reasons to play on.
    Of course correct that VAR supported there. In case of penalty, it would have been the same.

  27. Jackson2 October 2019 at 22:21

    We just had a penalty shout in Barcelona. AR flagged for offside, I think incorrectly. VAR appeared to clear it.

    61' Interesting situation.
    It was a foul on Suarez in Inter's penalty area. Robert Vukan signalized offside. Replay show us that wasn't offside.

    Yellow card from Skomina to both Sanchez who had been substituted and now Antonio Conte in the technical area. Would hate to be the 4th official on this game.

    Antonio Miguel Lahoz has shown the yellow card for boths coach from Leipzig and Lyon and red card for Leipzigs physiotherapist.

  32. Izo3 October 2019 at 10:17

    Antonio Conte mentioned after the game that referees had no respect to him and to his team. I am surprised that Inter coach is so unrealistic, since I think that Skomina and his team did a great job. Definitely nothing to blame them.

    Anyone else thinking, that Lyon's first goal was offside?

      It sure looks like an offside to me. Definitely hard to spot live, 100% VAR stuff.

    2. Philipp S3 October 2019 at 21:20

      Watching it again frame by frame, I think, I was wrong: The defender's leg is stretched far enough to make it onside.
