In the Super League, Galatasaray defeated Bodrum FK 2-0. The trio team of Bahattin Duran, Bülent Yıldırım, and Deniz Çoban evaluated the controversial positions in the match.
22' Is the decision to continue correct in the position where Barış Alper Yılmaz fell to the ground?
Bahattin Duran: Ajeti made a very slight contact with Barış Alper's foot. Barış lost his coordination. I don't think it was a penalty. The decision to continue is correct.
Deniz Çoban: If Barış Alper had fallen in the first position, it could have been a penalty. Looking at the final stage, Barış Alper continues as if he was not affected by the contact. I think the referee's decision is justifiable. I can't argue with those who say it was a penalty.
Bülent Yıldırım: I agree. Ajeti touches a little during the balance. Barış's left heel was disrupted due to the charge. I feel that the player behind is disrupting the step. A penalty could be given on the field. It is not a position where VAR could intervene. I was very disturbed by the referee's body language. I can't make a sensitive comment; there is an effect, but since Barış Alper took a step and fell, I wouldn't call it a penalty.
31' Is the decision correct for the yellow card shown to Barış Alper Yılmaz?
Bahattin Duran: Coming from so far away and showing a yellow card like this...
Deniz Çoban: I don't understand why the referee showed a yellow card to Barış after missing a very clear yellow card. The referee has a strange body language. A card is a sign of authority. I cannot agree with this yellow card.
Bülent Yıldırım: Where is the yellow card here? It's a wrong card. This is not a referee model. This is a star syndrome. The referee tries to chat with the players at every opportunity he finds.
42' Is the VAR decision to cancel the penalty awarded to Galatasaray correct?
Bahattin Duran: The referee's decision to award a penalty is a huge mistake. The referee has a clear view; it is very easy to evaluate. It is a position that the referee can easily assess. I think Gabriel Sara should have received a yellow card for trying to deceive the referee.
Deniz Çoban: For a referee at this level to award a penalty for this is unbelievable. What is even more scandalous is that after watching it on VAR, he did not show a yellow card, which is unacceptable.
Bülent Yıldırım: There is nothing to say. Scandal.
