Former referees and commentators stated that Dries Mertens' intervention on Augusto in the 9th minute of the match where Galatasaray defeated Alanyaspor 1-0 was a red card.

The Trio team evaluated the referee decisions in the match where Galatasaray defeated Alanyaspor 1-0.

FAMOUS COMMENTATORS EXPRESSED THE SAME OPINION

Evaluating the key moments of the match, former referee and famous commentators stated that a red card was necessary for Dries Mertens' intervention on Augusto in the 9th minute.

Here are the commentators' statements;

Bahattin Duran: Mertens' action is a violent act, and it deserves a red card. Mertens used his elbow as a weapon. He raised his right elbow and hit the player's jaw. There is a very clear foul here. There should have been a VAR intervention as well.

Bülent Yıldırım: In interventions to the elbow and face area, as long as there is no certain level of violence, it falls under violent action and requires a red card. He raises his right elbow above shoulder level and hits his opponent's jaw. This should have resulted in a red card. VAR should have intervened as well.

Deniz Çoban: It is clear that Mertens' action is a violent act. There is no struggle for the ball. You make this move after the ball is gone. There is a section in the rule regarding violent actions that states: "In situations where there is no struggle for the ball. A player who deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person in the head or face with their hand or arm is guilty of violent conduct and is punished with a red card, unless it is very slight or can be disregarded." This probably describes this situation perfectly. There is a clear red card.
