In the 6th week of the Super League, Galatasaray defeated Konyaspor 3-1 at home. The Yellow-Reds made a fantastic start to the league by achieving 6 out of 6. However, the decisions made by referee Yasin Kol during the match sparked controversies.
REFEREE DECISIONS DISCUSSED IN TRIO
In the 'Trio' program aired on the broadcasting channel, former referees Deniz Çoban, Bülent Yıldırım, and Bahattin Duran commented on the whistles blown during the critical match.
WAS THE YELLOW CARD GIVEN TO TORREIRA JUSTIFIED?
Deniz Çoban: Referees should not create their own problems. They will take low-risk decisions. The referee is very close to this position. If the assistant referee is interfering, it means he is exceeding his duties. It is a forced assistance. To issue this yellow card 40 seconds later puts the remaining 88 minutes at risk. I wish it hadn't been issued; I would have accepted it more. A yellow card is sufficient.
Bahattin Duran: The position is a clear yellow card. If Torreira had stepped a bit higher, it would have been a red card.
Bülent Yıldırım: Torreira takes a risk and lifts his foot. Since Muleka also slips, this contact occurs more harshly. I think the position is a yellow card. If the foot had been just one centimeter higher, hitting the shinbone, it would have been a stronger case. The fact that this yellow card was given so late did not give me the impression of a healthy collaboration.
