Not that much of a high profile game for Taylor.
ReplyDeletefirst foul was by uzbekistan player on the YC situation no ?
ReplyDeleteFirst YC: Taylor gave it for SPA because the Colombian player threw himself on the opponent making him fall down, but one can argue that it was possible to whistle foul against UZB before... not a clean situation, but once you let game flow, then you have to give free kick to attacker.
ReplyDeleteThe great and iconic Ravshan Irmatov at the stadium!
ReplyDeleteCorrect YC, clear SPA, hope the cameraman is ok.
ReplyDeleteTwo correct YCs so far
ReplyDeleteGood call by AR2
ReplyDeleteSecond YC was mandatory as well, while now, 45'+1, he could have booked again but he didn't. Clear howw the English referee thinks to book only for very evident situations.
ReplyDeleteNo comments for the whole second half tells the story. Good job by Taylor
ReplyDelete+1 indeed
