ICELAND vs. GREECE
ReplyDeleteReferee: Nathan Verboomen
Highlights:
https://files.fm/u/vz4cuzn3ccxhmpum
Key match incidents correctly assessed:
- no penalty to ISL (32')
- penalty to ISL for tripping (61')
- no penalty to ISL for holding (76')
- defensive FK instead of penalty (90+4')
Disciplinary was a bit weird
- FK for simulation without a YC to GRE #9? (12')
- acceptable but harsh YC to GRE #3 for SPA (15')
- acceptable but harsh YC to GRE #20 for UB - off-the-ball push (45+1')
- correct YC to ISL #9 for reckless (63')
- acceptable but harsh YC to GRE #5 for holding at set piece (83')
- correct YC to ISL #15 for reckless/cynical (90+6').
The weather conditions were very difficult (very snowy + artificial turf) and overall it was a positive performance from the Belgian but it looked like he predicted a challenging game and adapted a little bit too strict approach.
Thank you for this report!
DeleteA very particular performance, I would say.
Excellent in crucial incidents without VAR, and this already says everything in modern refereeing, I would say.
However, extremely strict approach.
An observer would hardly agree on the cards issued in 15' for SPA, too soft, nobody would have asked for it, and then the one in 83'. Here it is expected to solve without cards, but sometimes we have referees showing cards (let's remember Osmers in the famous Inter game).
So some "contrary" (but minor!) decisions against modern refereeing, in the context of a very good officiating about all the rest.
And, forgot to comment, strange call in 12', indeed, maybe not simulation, otherwise he would have booked the player, but not clear what he decided to punish.
Extremely challenging weather can be only a positive note for an observer, because it makes everything even more challenging until the end (great focus in 90'+4!).
