It seems nearly unavoidable to use some referees, who already worked this week. I chose two for that, who at least didn't have a CL match yet this season.

England-USA: Riem Hussein (GER)
Slightly surprised Hussein didn't stop play with Bronze holding her head down injured. Thankfully wasn't a major contact and VAR correctly recommended an OFR so the penalty was eventually given
ReplyDeleteAnother OFR for Hussein. This time to overturn a penalty for handball. She seemed well positioned however it was absolutely nowhere near the arms, a decision I think any referee should be getting right at this level
ReplyDeleteWhat a game for Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias in Pamplona.
ReplyDeleteTwo PKs and three RCs (DOGSO, 2YC for dissent for a substitute player, RC), all correct.

ReplyDeleteTess Olofsson about to fall in a terrible mistake in such a crucial game, saved by either AR2 or even VAR.
IMO, unacceptable on Elite level.
ReplyDeleteOlofsson is more focused that no player should enter the penalty area by 1cm, rather than being concentrated that if the penalty taker returns the ball directly without another player touching it, play should be called off immediately and restarted with IFK.
