The beIN Trio team provided their analysis following the Alanyaspor-Galatasaray match, which ended with a 2-1 victory for Galatasaray. The renowned commentators expressed their clear opinion that the incident between Morata and Aliti, for which the yellow-reds were expecting a penalty, was not a penalty.

The beIN Trio team evaluated the decisions of referee Yasin Kol in the Alanyaspor - Galatasaray match played in the 27th week of the Trendyol Super League.

GALATASARAY WAS EXPECTING A PENALTY

The yellow-reds made a penalty appeal in the 45+1 minute during a situation inside the opponent's penalty area. Galatasaray players claimed that Aliti handled the ball after a situation between Morata and Aliti in the Alanyaspor penalty area. Referee Yasin Kol wanted the game to continue after a brief conversation with VAR.

Was the decision to continue in the situation where Galatasaray expected a penalty correct?

Bülent Yıldırım: A scramble occurred. Morata charged Aliti from behind. While trying to show that this was a foul, Aliti also played the ball with his right arm. Then the ball hit Morata's hand. The first violation was an illegal charge. A foul should have been given in favor of Alanyaspor. That was missed, and there was a handball by the attacking side. A penalty should never be considered. The only decision to be made here is a free kick in favor of Alanyaspor.

Deniz Çoban: Absolutely. Morata hit Aliti; when Aliti fell, the ball hit his hand; then the ball hit Morata's hand. The referee missed all of them.

Bahattin Duran: There is no penalty.
