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.

Spain-Sweden: Sandra Braz (POR)
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.
