The Trio team evaluates derby referee Slavko Vincic: He should have awarded a penalty in that position

In the 25th week of the Super Lig, the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby, which football fans had been waiting for with great excitement, ended in a goalless draw. While both teams failed to capitalize on the opportunities they created, the controversial moments in the match drew attention.

GALATASARAY'S STREAK ENDED

Galatasaray, which left the field with a goalless draw, failed to find the back of the net for the first time in 33 official matches. The yellow-red team last failed to score on August 27, 2024, in the UEFA Champions League play-off round. Since that date, the Lions, who had celebrated goals in 21 Super Lig matches, 10 UEFA Europa League matches, and 2 Ziraat Turkish Cup matches, could not continue this streak against Fenerbahçe.

FENERBAHÇE'S WINNING STREAK ENDED

Fenerbahçe, on the other hand, ended its 7-match winning streak in the league with the derby. Manager Jose Mourinho started the match with the trio of Çağlar Söyüncü, Milan Skriniar, and Yusuf Akçiçek, while giving chances to Fred and Szymanski in front of them. In the second half, Djiku and Amrabat were brought on to replace Çağlar and Szymanski, who were on yellow cards. However, despite the changes, Fenerbahçe could not find the goal they were looking for.

REFEREE VINCIC'S DECISIONS DISCUSSED

Following the match, former referees Deniz Çoban, Bahattin Duran, and Bülent Yıldırım examined the performance of referee Slavko Vincic on the "Trio" program broadcast by the rights holder.

HERE ARE THE CONTROVERSIAL MOMENTS OF THE MATCH

The Trio team of the rights holder beIN SPORTS evaluated the referee decisions in the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe match. Here are the controversial moments of the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe match, which were put under the microscope with the comments of Deniz Çoban, Bülent Yıldırım, and Bahattin Duran...

IS THE CANCELLATION OF OĞUZ AYDIN'S GOAL CORRECT?

Deniz Çoban: There is no doubt about the foul. Szymanski collided with Muslera after he played the ball. The timing of the whistle is correct. I don't think there was mobbing against the referee. I think the referee's decision was correct from start to finish.

Bahattin Duran: Muslera played the ball and made the move he had to make. Szymanski came and collided with him. This position is a foul. The cancellation of the goal is the correct decision.

Bülent Yıldırım: If it were a collision, we would say play on. This is a careless foul. The referee's decision to cancel the goal is 100 percent indisputably correct.

'IS THE DECISION TO PLAY ON IN THE POSITION WHERE OSIMHEN EXPECTED A PENALTY CORRECT?'

Deniz Çoban: I don't think there is a penalty here. Did the referee do the right thing by letting play continue? He did not do the right thing. Why? While Skriniar was coming to mark Osimhen, Osimhen opened his left arm uncontrollably and hit Skriniar in the face. As Skriniar was turning, Osimhen got stuck in between and fell to the ground. Osimhen's arm is not in a natural position. It is uncontrolled... He should have received a yellow card. An offensive foul should have been called. Is the referee unable to see it due to his position? There is an open arm. He chose to say play on. There is no penalty here; there is an offensive foul before the penalty.

Bahattin Duran: There is not much to discuss here. Is the referee's decision to play on correct? If we are asking for a penalty, yes. Osimhen committed an offensive foul and should have been given a yellow card. He used his hand inappropriately on Skriniar's face. It is a clear foul, a clear yellow card, and no penalty.

Bülent Yıldırım: There is no penalty. However, looking at the physical struggle inside, Osimhen has an arm movement towards Skriniar's face. It is an offensive foul and a yellow card.

'IS THE BALL HITTING OĞUZ'S HAND INSIDE THE PENALTY AREA A PENALTY? IS THE DECISION TO PLAY ON CORRECT?'

Deniz Çoban: There is no such penalty. It has nothing to do with it. Karasev gave such a penalty and then disappeared.

Bahattin Duran: If a player plays the ball intentionally and it hits their own hand, it is not a violation regardless of where it is. The decision to play on is correct.

Bülent Yıldırım: Karasev gave such a penalty, and UEFA made a statement. There is no such penalty, that's it.

IS THE DECISION TO PLAY ON CORRECT WHEN THE BALL MET LEMINA'S HAND?

Bahattin Duran: This position is a clear penalty! The decision to play on is wrong. The ball came from a corner. The players saw this ball. There is an image in close-up; the ball is not a 'rainbow ball'. It hit Lemina's upper arm. The players saw the ball and jumped up; Davinson is in front of Lemina. The ball came directly to Lemina's hand without hitting Davinson or anyone else. The arm is completely open. It was not an unexpected ball. Lemina always saw this ball. It touched his unnatural arm. It is a clear penalty.

Deniz Çoban: I agree with everything Bahattin says. Lemina saw the ball from the corner and followed it. It is not an unexpected ball. The ball comes in such a way that it comes from the front, passing 25-30 centimeters away from his teammate. There is no Fenerbahçe player struggling with Lemina. It is an indisputable, clear, and obvious penalty. UEFA calls this a penalty. Despite the ball coming from the front, he kept his arm up and did not bring it down. He took a risk. It is a penalty.

Bülent Yıldırım: It is a ball coming from a distance, an expected ball. The ball came from a corner. You took a risk. You extended your arm forward, and at the end of this risk you took, the ball hit your arm. The arm is not in a natural position. He should have awarded a penalty. VAR should have intervened.

IS THE FOUL GIVEN TO SKRINIAR CORRECT?

Deniz Çoban: You blew the whistle here, but what would you have done if that header had been a goal? We would be talking about completely different things today. How did you do this, sir? This cannot be done. If it had been a goal, you wouldn't have been able to handle the fallout.

Bülent Yıldırım: If the header Barış hit had been a goal, the referee wouldn't have been able to handle the fallout. There is no foul.

Bahattin Duran: Skriniar felt the hand and did the same. He drew the foul. Sanchez was already falling.

THE REFEREE'S REPORT CARD

Bahattin Duran: In my opinion, when the first match ended, it was said, 'Okay, it's a foul, there is no black and white error,' but for me, there is a clear black and white error, the penalty position.

Deniz Çoban: He called way too many fouls.

Bülent Yıldırım: He didn't take any risks at all.
