The beIN Trio team made evaluations about Slavko Vincic, who officiated the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby. Here are the controversial positions and the referees' comments.
IS LEMINA'S POSITION A PENALTY?
In the 65th minute, was the decision to continue correct for the ball that hit Lemina's hand?
Bahattin Duran: This position is a clear penalty! The decision to continue was wrong. The ball came from a corner, and the players saw this ball. There is a close-up shot; the ball is not a 'rainbow ball.' It hit Lemina's upper arm. The players saw the ball and jumped, and Davinson is in front of Lemina. The ball came directly to Lemina's hand without hitting Davinson or anyone else. The arm is completely open. It is not an unexpected ball. Lemina saw this ball from start to finish. It made contact with his unnatural arm. A clear penalty.
Bülent Yıldırım: A ball coming from a distance, expected. The ball came from a corner. You took a risk and extended your arm forward. As a result of this risk, the ball hit your arm. The arm is not natural. The referee should have given a penalty decision. VAR should have intervened.
Deniz Çoban: I completely agree with what my colleague Bahattin said. Lemina saw and followed the ball from the corner. It is not an unexpected ball. The ball is coming from the front and passes just 25-30 centimeters away from his teammate. There is no Fenerbahçe player challenging Lemina. Undoubtedly, it is a clear and obvious penalty. UEFA also calls it a penalty. Despite the ball coming from the front, he kept his arm up and did not bring it down. He took a risk, and as a result, the ball hit his hand. Penalty.
