PENALTY GIVEN TO GALATASARAY

  • Is the penalty decision given in favor of Galatasaray correct?

Bülent Yıldırım: Our top referee missed the position when the ball was going towards the attacking area as he started a late sprint. The position is a clear penalty. The VAR intervention is correct. The referee should have given this on the field.

Deniz Çoban: I agree with what Bülent Hocam said. Undoubtedly a clear goal-scoring opportunity. The ball is under Osimhen's control. If he escapes, he will score. A hundred percent goal position. According to the rule, if there is a clear goal-scoring opportunity and a struggle for the ball, you go down one penalty, yellow card. Undoubtedly a yellow card. No one can come out and say that it shouldn't be a yellow card. The bigger problem than missing the penalty is missing the yellow card. It shouldn't be that simple to miss a yellow card.

Bahattin Duran: The penalty and the yellow card were overlooked.

YELLOW CARD POSITION SHOWN TO YUNUS AKGÜN

  • Is the referee's decision correct for the yellow card shown to Yunus Akgün?

Bülent Yıldırım: The intervention was made under the chin and on the hand. Yellow card for uncontrolled foul. It cannot be a red card.

Deniz Çoban: The rule states that the severity cannot be ignored when it comes to the head and face. If this action were to the face, the nose, eyes, and lips are sensitive. This severity is not at a level that would affect the chin. This is not a violent action. It is unsporting behavior in an area without the ball. A yellow card is sufficient.

Bahattin Duran: A yellow card is sufficient for me.

POSITION WHERE TORREIRA FELL

Deniz Çoban: There is no foul in this position. The feet met from the side. It was not Jevtovic who brought Torreira down; he fell due to the nature of the action he made.

Bülent Yıldırım: Konyaspor's promising attack was interrupted. No foul was committed against Torreira; Torreira fouled Jevtovic with a pinching action.

53rd MINUTE: OFFSIDE DECISION IN OSIMHEN'S GOAL

  • Is the offside decision correct in Osimhen's goal in the 53rd minute?

Deniz Çoban: The offside decision is wrong. Barış Alper, who hit the ball, is not offside. Abdülkerim did not engage in a struggle with his opponent. There was no gesture or reaction; there is no effect-reaction event. Just because of Abdülkerim's presence, did the Konyaspor player delay his move? The rule states that if an offside player restricts the movements of a player who is about to move towards the ball. There is a possibility of adhering to the expression there. Abdülkerim stopped because the ball did not come to him. Guilherme does not stop after hitting Abdülkerim, but there is a vague contact with Abdülkerim. Barış Alper hit the ball; Abdülkerim made no move. Guilherme also has no chance to reach Barış Alper.

Bülent Yıldırım: In subjective decisions, in decisions that are 'according to you, according to me', if the field official has ruled a decision. If the assistant referee raised the flag, VAR cannot invite to the monitor. The referee's decision is wrong. I think the goal should have been given.

Bahattin Duran: If the assistant referee watched these images, he would have continued the game; the correct decision would have been to give the goal.

YELLOW CARD POSITION OF AHMED KUTUCU

  • Is the decision correct for the yellow card of Ahmed Kutucu?

Deniz Çoban: The referee got too involved and had no chance to watch it healthily. I watched this position a lot. I say the yellow card is correct.

Bülent Yıldırım: It didn't sit perfectly, but there is no uncontrolled sliding. He thought he used his knee uncontrollably in the dive. I will not criticize the referee.

Bahattin Duran: If the referee said yellow, I accept the yellow card.

SECOND YELLOW CARD EXPECTATION FOR AHMED KUTUCU

  • Is a second yellow card necessary for Ahmed Kutucu's foul, who already has a yellow card?

Bülent Yıldırım: There is no need for any discussion; it is an uncontrolled and late intervention; undoubtedly a second yellow card. It is unacceptable for the referee to miss this.

Deniz Çoban: Undoubtedly a second yellow card.

Bahattin Duran: A clear yellow card, undoubtedly a second yellow card.

IS AHMED KUTUCU HANDLING THE BALL?

  • Is Ahmed Kutucu handling the ball, or is he controlling it with his chest?

Bülent Yıldırım: Handball.```html

Deniz Çoban: Do not play with your hands.

Bahattin Duran: Halil Umut Meler said 'chest', he misjudged.
