Galatasaray and Beşiktaş faced off in the 8th week of the Süper Lig. The match at Rams Park ended in a 1-1 draw. In the 34th minute, Davinson Sanchez of the yellow-reds was shown a direct red card for his challenge on Rafa Silva, leaving his team with 10 men.
RULE ERROR STATEMENT FROM DENİZ ÇOBAN
A striking claim regarding the derby came from former referee Deniz Çoban. Evaluating the positions on the broadcaster, Deniz Çoban claimed that the derby could be replayed if an appeal is made.
Reminding that the game was stopped while the ball was in play for Beşiktaş's substitution, Deniz Çoban's statements are as follows:
Beşiktaş made a substitution. The referee stopped the game for Osimhen's injury. The game restarted with a dropped ball. It stayed in play for about 10 seconds, then a warning came from the sideline. The warning was that the Beşiktaş team was going to make a substitution. The referee stopped the game. The game is not stopped for a substitution while play is ongoing. The referee made a mistake by stopping the game.
The referee might have restarted the game after the first substitution was made, even though Beşiktaş had two substitutions ready.
This is a significant error for the referee. Why is this important? According to the Laws of the Game and instructions, each team can make 5 substitutions and can stop the game 3 times to make these 5 substitutions, provided they do not do so during halftime.
“THEY STOPPED IT 4 TIMES WHEN THEY COULD ONLY STOP IT 3 TIMES”
It stopped 2 times here. Beşiktaş stopped the game 2 more times for substitutions. As written in the instructions, Beşiktaş stopped the game 4 times for substitutions when they could only stop it a maximum of 3 times.
“IF THERE IS AN APPEAL, THE TFF WILL REQUEST AN OPINION”
If there is an appeal regarding this situation, this appeal will be made to the TFF. As a result of the appeal, the TFF will request an opinion from the MHK (Central Referee Board). They will ask for an explanation. The MHK will also request an additional report from the referee. The referee will provide an additional report to the MHK on how this incident occurred and why the referee implemented such a procedure. The MHK will then provide an opinion to the TFF regarding this.
“IT COULD BE REPLAYED”
Accordingly, the TFF can register the score, have it replayed from the moment of the substitution, or have it replayed from the beginning. The authority lies with the TFF. The additional report that Yasin Kol will provide is very important in terms of clarifying what happened here.
