  1. Interesting OFR in Leuven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoOqW2zjWaI

    Looks like the attacker commits the first foul. Thoughts?

    1. The Bulgarian referee could have ensured a better visual control of the full penalty area, but she remained with the eyes on the ball when corner was kicked, missing what was happening on the other side. Said that it wasn't surely easy to see everything, I think she could have opted for a better and more flexible positioning. This was what then led to the issue, with the OFR called by VAR. Yes, you have the final reaction by Roma player, but you have also to analyze what before, with Leuven player surely not innocent. For me the penalty decision is not 100% wrong, but it's just something isolated from the context, while still with that OFR, Hristiyana Guteva could have taken a different decision, looking at what before the reaction.
