FAMOUS COMMENTATORS EXPRESS SIMILAR OPINIONS

Famous commentators Bülent Yıldırım, Bahattin Duran, and Deniz Çoban expressed similar opinions about the penalty awarded to Galatasaray in the match.

Here are their comments:

Bülent Yıldırım: "There is contact on the leg. It is a clear penalty. The referee should have shown a yellow card to the Hatayspor player."

Bahattin Duran: "I agree with Deniz Çoban regarding the card. For there not to be a penalty, the Hatayspor player should have cleanly touched the ball. But in this case, the Hatayspor player does not touch the ball. Icardi moves forward when he sees his opponent coming. The Hatayspor player clearly interferes with his opponent. There is a clear penalty."

Deniz Çoban: "At this level, a referee who awards a penalty should definitely show a yellow card. I agree with the penalty decision. It was right for the player who protested to receive a yellow card. But that player should have definitely received a yellow card. Icardi has the ball in front of him. You go and hit his supporting leg. You don't have the right to do that. There is a clear penalty here."
