The beIn Trio team commented on referee Mehmet Türkmen's decisions following the Fenerbahçe-Trabzonspor match.
Was the penalty decision given in favor of Fenerbahçe in the 48th minute correct?
Bülent Yıldırım: Osayi stepped on Mustafa's foot while dribbling the ball backward with his balance foot. It's an incredibly difficult position. After Mustafa lost his balance, he intervened with his opponent. I can understand the referee's mistake. The video referee, watching from the screen, not seeing who made the first contact in such a clear and obvious foul sequence and concentrating on the line is a big mistake. "The decision that should have been made here is a free kick in favor of Trabzonspor. A penalty was given through VAR. VAR should have shown Osayi stepping on Mustafa's foot; VAR made a very serious mistake here.
Deniz Çoban: Stepping on the foot is a foul. Whether it was accidental or not changes things in terms of a card, but it does not change the fact that it is a foul. There is no action from the opponent; he is not putting his foot in. Osayi's foot goes and steps on. We can support this with angles. We have evidence. There are at least 3 different visible angles. When stepped on, Mustafa's foot was twisted. Osayi made the first foul, and Mustafa's foot turned. Even if it was an accident, it is still a foul. There is no action from the opponent towards him; he stepped on the foot he placed in front of him. Osayi committed a foul.
Bahattin Duran: It's a very difficult position, but there are very clear proofs. First, Osayi stepped on the foot, then Mustafa committed a foul. There should have been a VAR intervention, and he should have been called to watch; Mehmet Türkmen would have seen it on the monitor and would have given an attacking foul.
