The decisions of the refereeing team in the game of Tsireio, between Apollon and the Union, are commented by the former referee and collaborator of the show “Derby”, Nikos Savva, speaking on our website, gipedo.politis.com.cy.
Initially he told us that Kyriakos Christodoulou was good. Note that Marios Christoforou was in the VAR.
The phases:
17 '- Apollon asks for a penalty. There is a hand from Panos, but the ball in his hand comes from very close distance, after a failed attempt by Biseswar to play the ball as he would like. The normal position of the hand, but also the close distance that the ball has come in the hand makes the decision of the referee and the VAR not to give a violation. It has not been given correctly.
69 '- Offside suspicion before the corner, from which Apollon's goal came. There is no case of offside, Bensop is clearly covered.
75 '- Penalty for the Union. The referee in this phase I believe has not given a violation because he has considered the phase identical to the phase of 17 '. The ball hits the ends of Roberts's hand momentarily after Theodoros's head but the referee has considered that the head with the hand is too close. The intervention of the VAR indicates to the referee that there is an extension of the body with his final decision to give the penalty. Decision covered by the regulation. My personal opinion is that the end of the penalties should not be given in such phases due to the close distance that exists to the players involved.
80 '- Penalty for Apollon. While the referee has been undecided for some time but his final decision is covered by the rules. There is a continuous holding of Balazic in Bensop that starts outside the remedial area up to the small remedial area of the Union.
