What a disaster performance by Polish referee. Too lenient with CHI players. He lost control of the match. Only 20'.
ReplyDelete24': Great decision now by Damian Sylwestrzak. RC to 18 SAN player.
ReplyDeleteExcellent red card decision, how poor the behavior of South American team is, making several times the VAR gestures, player absolutely not aware about what he has done, or maybe used to CONMEBOL standards...

Here you have both the very late action, after ball played (and you could even say player did that on purpose...), but also the point of contact so...
However, I must say an excellent analysis by UEFA commentator, it's rare.

Debatable call by Kwiatkowski in my opinion, how much the contact from behind is the real cause of the fall by attacker? Not sure, however the action exists.
The Polish VAR once again shows that he prefers an intervention in a rather borderline situation.
It's not the first time.
And once again the commentor is right, I think.
DeleteSecond YC for reckless "head", very rare.

Lost control by Polish referee, one must admit.
But very bad behavior by players!
Another red card followed, a straight one I think, before final whistle, maybe for a direct insult to referee.
Trying to be objective: the first red card was justified—a stupid move by the player. From then on, it was the same story; the SW players tried to keep playing the way they started—focusing on gamesmanship rather than football. There were questionable calls, including a second red card resulting from a yellow card for a completely accidental headbutt—it was madness. The penalty decision was monumentally ridiculous, completely destroying any confidence in the officiating. I’ve spent months reading guidelines about VAR intervening only in cases of "clear and obvious errors," yet here they called for a review of a play that didn't even draw any complaints. It was a truly bad joke. The third red card came after a protest regarding a clear foul against SW that went uncalled, followed immediately by a foul awarded to RM—typical of the match overall. In short: poor behavior from SW (a bad habit around here that often goes unpunished) combined with terrible officiating and questionable calls favoring the Spanish team.
