COMMENTATORS SAID "GOAL"

Was the decision correct for the goal of Samsunspor, which was canceled for offside reasons in the 34th minute? The commentators who answered this question argued that the position should have been a goal.

Here are those comments;

Bülent Yıldırım: First, in subjective areas, in situations open to interpretation, the on-field decision is valid. I have to respect the cancellation of the goal here in a technical sense. Secondly, personally, I would ask the following questions. Is the relevant player on the line of sight? No. Is there a movement to play the ball, a movement to affect the goalkeeper? No. Is there contact with the ball? No. Is there physical contact? No. Theoretically, I find the striking of this goal correct, but in the subjective area, being close to the goalkeeper and coming from behind at the moment the ball is played, while the goalkeeper does not see, I believe that the player making a move towards the ball did not affect the goalkeeper. I respect the referee's decision who says it did affect. I am in favor of this goal being given.

"IT WOULD BE MORE CORRECT TO GIVE THE GOAL"

Bahattin Duran: The ball did not come to Asensio's hand; it came from the chest area. If there was a handball here, even if the referee's decision was offside, it would have been a penalty. Asensio did not handle the ball; it bounced off from the chest area. The assistant referee raised the flag in this position. The flag was raised for the player who scored, number 7. That player is not in an offside position anyway. The line was going to come, and it would have been shown that he was not offside. The assistant referee's determination is wrong. This ball is away from the goalkeeper. The inability of the goalkeeper to intervene is not due to player number 17; this is UEFA's updated interpretation. The goalkeeper could not intervene anyway; the ball went to the other player. The assistant referee could have raised the flag for this position on the field for player number 17. According to UEFA's most recent interpretation, giving the goal was the most correct decision.

Deniz Çoban: It would have been more correct to give the goal. Even if the goalkeeper was going to make a move, it wouldn't change anything. If the goalkeeper was going to make a move, he should have done it earlier. Even if player number 17 came out, the goalkeeper had no chance of saving.
