Challenging game for Visser in Moldova.
ReplyDeleteStraight RC for DOGSO after 5 minutes in first half:
https://streamin.me/v/4c5ea792
Second YC for reckless, I think you can support (contact from behind, a bit exaggerated by fouled player, but maybe not 100% all people agreeing on that):
https://streamin.me/v/0044427e
Wouldn't have been seen as clear mistake to whistle without second YC.
Too harsh for 2YC. Any clear replays showing the ball completely in for EST second goal?
DeleteI felt his body language was poor for the 2nd goal incident
DeleteOT: four incidents in the second half for Salman Falahi (QAT) in Kuwait - Oman. Sorry I don’t have clips of these incidents, just the minutes:
ReplyDelete67’ penalty given to Kuwait, overturned after OFR
74’ potential DOGSO committed by Kuwait. Offside given on the field (looks incorrect to me but maybe too close to overturn if using the “MLS-style” eyeball test - does anyone know AFC use lines for offside VAR decisions?). Difficult also to see if there was enough for a foul too. Ultimately, decision stands.
78’ potential holding penalty for Oman, not given, no review. In my opinion this is a clear penalty.
88’ potential VC by Oman #11, foul and no card on the field, no review.
Crazy ending in Brisards game. Two added time goals.
