The Trio team evaluated the critical decisions in the derby

In the derby of the 10th week of the Super Lig, Galatasaray defeated the visiting Beşiktaş 2-1. While the derby's referee, Arda Kardeşler, was criticized for the decisions he made and failed to make, the controversial positions were evaluated on the Trio program broadcast on beIN Sports. Here are the comments from former referees Bahattin Duran, Deniz Çoban, and Bülent Yıldırım...

Is the referee's decision correct regarding Davinson Sanchez's intervention on Ciro Immobile?

Bahattin Duran: This position is not a violent act, but it is an unsporting act. There is no punch here. Davinson's left hand does not form a fist in any way. His hand is open, and he hits the abdominal area. This is not a violent, injurious blow, but it is an unsporting intervention. It should definitely have been a yellow card along with the foul.

Deniz Çoban: He is using not just his left hand, but his right hand as well. There is no fist in his right hand either. In such actions taken while not competing for the ball, we look for cruelty, violence, and ruthlessness. There is no violence, cruelty, or ruthlessness in the move he made with both hands here. But this unsporting act is a yellow card.

Bülent Yıldırım: A probe into the abdominal area with the left, the use of the hand as an unsporting tool, and then a secondary complementary move, but again not in the form of a punch. It is clear that the position is a clear foul and requires a yellow card.

Is a card required for the intervention by Davinson and Osimhen on Joao Mario?

Bahattin Duran: Davinson is taking a risk by jumping in an uncontrolled manner. This sliding intervention is first on the opponent's foot. I think this action, along with the foul, warrants a yellow card.

Deniz Çoban: I also think the Galatasaray player deserved a yellow card at this minute.

Bülent Yıldırım: Perhaps the referee was mistaken because he did not see the opponent directly from the front. If he had seen it as we did, it was a position where the referee could have given a yellow card.

Is the decision to continue play correct in the position where Icardi went down?

Deniz Çoban: The defender's right knee hits Icardi's left calf. As a result of this blow, Icardi cannot manage to bring the ball in front of him with his right foot. That is what it looks like. Stating that it is not very easy to solve this on the field, I think it would have been more correct to award a penalty. VAR does not intervene in these types of body-to-body struggles.

Bahattin Duran: Icardi acts earlier and gets in front of his opponent. Since Udokhai stayed behind, he has a careless intervention on his opponent. For me, it is a clear penalty. There would definitely be no VAR intervention.

Bülent Yıldırım: Even though he wanted to play the ball, we see that because he stayed behind, he made a risky move and while trying to kick the ball, he disrupted Icardi's knee and restricted his movement. I also think it is a penalty.

Is there an intervention by Barış Alper Yılmaz on Svensson at the touchline?

Deniz Çoban: Svensson's intention is to take the ball immediately and put it into play. The corridor vacated by Barış Alper would likely be Svensson's preference. Barış is very well aware of this; he does not want that ball to enter play quickly. That is why he makes an unsporting intervention on his opponent. This is an indisputable, clear, and obvious yellow card.

Bahattin Duran: Barış Alper moving forward, the left side being completely empty behind... There is a purpose for Barış Alper doing this. To cut off a fast attack that is likely to start. This is an unsporting act. Very clear. The response to this should have been a yellow card.

Bülent Yıldırım: This action is a yellow card for a tactical foul, a yellow card for delaying the restart of play, and a yellow card for an unsporting act. An exemplary yellow card. The referee should have been able to evaluate this.

Is the yellow card decision correct in the position where Beşiktaş expected a red card?

Bahattin Duran: Barış Alper pushed from behind while Immobile was about to go. Muslera coming to protest and kicking the ball should have been a yellow card. There is no doubt that Barış Alper committed a foul on Immobile. Immobile had softened the ball on his chest, the ball had landed on the ground, and he was going to take the ball in front of him with his right foot. I don't think the other Galatasaray player can catch up, and Immobile could score with a single touch. I think this action prevented an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and that Barış Alper should have seen a red card, not a yellow.

Deniz Çoban: There is no doubt about the control of the ball, because the ball landed on the ground. This player could touch this ball at most two more times and score. The Galatasaray player whom Arda Kardeşler showed as being able to catch up has no chance of catching up to this player. In my view, this position is an indisputable obvious goal-scoring opportunity. VAR should also intervene in this.

Bülent Yıldırım: This is a foul because the charge is from behind. The probability of controlling the ball would have been very, very high if it weren't for the foul. This position is an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.

Is the decision correct regarding the yellow card Davinson Sanchez received?

Bahattin Duran: The intervention Davinson made is not an uncontrolled action, it is just a foul. But subsequently, Davinson kicks the ball to protest the referee's decision. Following this, Arda Kardeşler showed a very correct yellow card. It was a very delayed yellow card for Davinson.

Deniz Çoban: I am not very sure if he is kicking it to protest, but he might also be kicking it to delay the restart of play. The behavior he displayed there is an action that could tense up the area. This is not a position that should be passed without a yellow card in any way. Finally, the Galatasaray player saw the card on the fourth attempt.

Is the referee's decision correct before Galatasaray's second goal?

Bahattin Duran: The referee takes his position, looks at the area where the group of players is, but unfortunately does not look at the area where goalkeeper Ersin is. There is no offside here. Ersin is still busy having the wall set up, he has not taken his position. While Ersin was at the base of the goalpost, the referee blew the whistle and started the game without checking. Ersin ran and took his position. If the referee had looked from a slightly wider angle, these types of objections would not have occurred. If there is no quick restart, if the referee has started what we call wall management; the referee must wait for the wall to get into place, and if the goalkeeper is having the wall set up, he must wait for the goalkeeper to have the wall set up. He must also wait for the goalkeeper to take his position.

Deniz Çoban: The referee did not manage the free kick as a referee should, he applied it incompletely.

Bülent Yıldırım: The referee has to see that all players are positioned during free-kick management. He also has to consider the position and comfort of the goalkeeper here.

Is a second yellow card required for Barış Alper Yılmaz?

Deniz Çoban: The pulling here is longer in duration than the yellow card shown to Kaan Ayhan. Before that, Torreira stepping on Semih's foot is also a yellow-card-worthy action. The assistant referee's angle is better here. He should have warned Arda Kardeşler by saying "ref, it's a yellow."

Bahattin Duran: This action is one hundred percent a second yellow card and requires an expulsion with a red card. Both of them need to be punished. Lucas Torreira should have seen a yellow card for stepping on the foot, and Barış Alper should have seen a second yellow card for pulling the jersey.

Bülent Yıldırım: The late stamp Torreira made after playing the ball is a yellow card. Afterwards, while Semih has escaped and is going, the opposing player has no chance of catching up to the ball. I am also of the opinion that it is a clear second yellow card.

Is the decision to continue play correct in the position where Gedson went down?

Bahattin Duran: The ball is in play. The player is holding his opponent slightly on the right arm with his right hand. This falls a bit into the category of escorting. Although Torreira makes a risky move here, I do not think this is a sufficient violation for a penalty, and I find the referee's decision to continue correct.

Deniz Çoban: I also think the decision to continue is correct.

Bülent Yıldırım: Gedson is not well-intentioned here either. He is reacting exaggeratedly to a small charge and escorting. I am also of the opinion to continue.
