The match between Fenerbahçe and Çaykur Rizespor, which ended in a 5-2 victory for Fenerbahçe, came into the spotlight due to controversial referee decisions. The broadcasting network's Trio team, consisting of Bahattin Duran, Deniz Çoban, and Bülent Yıldırım, evaluated the critical moments of the match and stated that three important incidents were mismanaged by the referee. They pointed out that there should have been a foul before Rizespor's first goal, that the handball decision before the second goal was incorrect, and that the second yellow card shown to Laçi was a mistake.
Fenerbahçe's match against Çaykur Rizespor, where they came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 5-2, was in the spotlight not only for the score but also for the controversial referee decisions. The broadcaster's Trio team; Bahattin Duran, Deniz Çoban, and Bülent Yıldırım, evaluated the critical moments of the match in detail and stated that three important positions were mismanaged by the referee.
"FOUL BEFORE THE FIRST GOAL"
All three former referees agreed on the question of whether there was a foul before Rizespor's first goal, stating that the position should have resulted in a foul. Bahattin Duran mentioned that VAR could not intervene but a foul could be called on the field, while Deniz Çoban expressed that the opponent used his arm openly to disrupt Fred's challenge. Bülent Yıldırım argued that the ball belonged to Fred and that the arm was used as an obstacle while winning it, claiming the decision was incorrect.
"NO HAND IN THE SECOND GOAL, DECISION IS WRONG"
For the handball decision given before Rizespor's second goal, the Trio team again reached a common conclusion: wrong decision. Deniz Çoban stated that the referee's intention was not to call it, but later contradicted himself with his body language. Bahattin Duran emphasized that there was no violation in the position, while Bülent Yıldırım said that the referee made an incorrect assessment and that the game should have continued.
"LACI'S SECOND YELLOW CARD IS WRONG"
The second yellow card shown to Qazim Laçi in the final part of the match also came under fire from the Trio. Deniz Çoban stated that the position did not meet the criteria for a "promising attack" and that the yellow card was unnecessary. Bahattin Duran expressed that there were two Rizespor players in front of Kerem and that the position was never a promising attack. Bülent Yıldırım noted that the referee made a narrow assessment because a wide angle was not seen, and that the decision was not justified.
