Galatasaray secured their second win of the season by defeating Goztepe 3-2 in the 3rd week of the Trendyol Super League. The beIN Trio team evaluated the controversial positions in the Galatasaray-Galatasaray match.
THE PENALTY GALATASARAY WON
Question: Is the decision correct in the penalty Galatasaray won after the VAR warning?
Bulent Yildirim: "This penalty should have been given on the field. It is by no means a clear and obvious situation. I do not find it correct to award a penalty with VAR intervention."
Secim Demirel: "Osimhen takes priority, acts quicker. His opponent acts carelessly. If the referee had given a penalty on the field, we could have said 'correct', but it is by no means a clear, obvious, or serious incident. The VAR referee's intervention is not correct. It is a situation open to interpretation. The on-field decision is supported, but the VAR intervention is faulty."
Deniz Coban: "The referee's interpretation should have come into play. The referee should have made the interpretation here. Looking at UEFA's latest 'clear line' guideline, looking at the 'let the referee decide on the field' decision, the referee should have decided on the field."
THE POSITION WHERE GOZTEPE EXPECTED A PENALTY
Question: Is the decision to continue play correct in the position where Goztepe expected a penalty in the 86th minute?
Secim Demirel: "There is very minimal contact. It does not contain any of the handball criteria. Even if there is contact with the hand, the arm is in a natural position. The decision to continue is correct."
Bulent Yildirim: "There is no obstruction, blocking, or barrier. It is just a corner. There is no penalty."
Deniz Coban: "The hands are in a natural position. It is not a penalty situation."
