The Trio team settles the debate: Should Barış Alper have received a red card in the Alanyaspor-Galatasaray match?

In the 27th week of the Super Lig, Galatasaray defeated Alanyaspor 2-1 away from home. The Trio team analyzed the controversial incidents of the match. Here is the referee evaluation of the match incidents by the Trio team...

THE BLOW MORATA RECEIVED TO THE FACE |

Bülent Yıldırım: Richard hit Morata in the face. It is an uncontrolled foul that requires a yellow card. |

Deniz Çoban: I would have even accepted a warning. It is a clear foul. |

Bahattin Duran: It is a clear foul. I lean towards an uncontrolled foul.

THE INCIDENT WHERE MAKOUTA WENT DOWN |

Bülent Yıldırım: There is a careless charge. A small and effective contact. He fell after receiving a blow to his leg. |

Deniz Çoban: The foul decision is correct. |

Bahattin Duran: The foul decision is correct.

IS BARIS ALPER'S YELLOW CARD CORRECT? |

Bülent Yıldırım: Barış Alper jumped in with an uncontrolled challenge. The moment he realized contact would occur, bending his knee and the grazing nature of the contact saved him from a heavier punishment. If he had come in with his studs up, it would have been a red card. A yellow card is sufficient. |

Deniz Çoban: I sign my name under everything Bülent Hocam said. |

Bahattin Duran: The yellow card is clear, it cannot be more than that.

DID MORATA HANDLE THE BALL? |

Bülent Yıldırım: The assessment is wrong from start to finish, there is no handball. It is an unexpected ball. This position could have resulted in a goal. It is an incorrect assessment. It also made VAR intervention impossible. |

Deniz Çoban: There is no handball here. Even if there is contact with the hand, it is not an offense. |

Bahattin Duran: The ball hit Morata's left elbow but it is not an offense. How much more natural can it be?

DID LEMINA'S CONSECUTIVE FOULS REQUIRE A CARD? |

Deniz Çoban: Lemina committed two fouls with a 5-second interval. It is an unsporting foul. Football is not played like this. A Super Lig referee should not miss such an obvious yellow card. |

Bülent Yıldırım: Grabbing the opponent by the waist and pulling them down is outside of football, a yellow card is required. Let's say you couldn't solve this, God gave you another chance. He insistently committed another foul. It is not pleasant for this to pass without a yellow card. |

Bahattin Duran: The first foul is a yellow card. You had the chance with a 5-second interval. Lemina should have received a yellow card in the 43rd minute.

THE INCIDENT WHERE GALATASARAY EXPECTED A PENALTY |

Bülent Yıldırım: There was a scramble. Morata charged Aliti from behind. While trying to show that this was a foul-worthy charge as he was falling, Aliti also played the ball with his right arm. Then the struck ball hit Morata's hand. The first offense is an irregular charge. A foul should have been given in favor of Alanyaspor. That was missed, and there is a handball by the attacking side. A penalty is never to be considered. The only decision to be made here is a free kick in favor of Alanyaspor. |

Deniz Çoban: One hundred percent so. Morata bumped into Aliti; when Aliti fell, the ball hit his hand; then the ball hit Morata's hand. The referee missed all of them. |

Bahattin Duran: There is no penalty.

IS LEMINA'S YELLOW CARD CORRECT? |

Bülent Yıldırım: It is not a yellow card. Every player in our league holds their face and lies down as if they have been hit at the slightest charge. The referee was misled by that. The yellow card was too much. There is no uncontrolled foul. |

Bahattin Duran: The action Lemina took is a foul, the yellow card is too much.

THE THROW-IN THAT ALANYASPOR REPEATED AND MUSLERA'S OBJECTION |

Deniz Çoban: Football referees must know the rules of the game. Footballers who earn this much money from football must also know the basic rules. They say 'the ball should pass to us', no. The throw-in was never taken. The ball slipped from his hand and fell, the throw-in is repeated. The Galatasaray players object so confidently, but the ball slipped from this player's hand and fell. The throw-in was never taken. Yasin Kol did the right thing. Such high-level players are objecting. This reflects poorly on the player, he should know the rule. This player even says 'I am the captain' at this level. Being a captain does not give you the right to object. You can communicate with the referee on certain issues. You cannot object just because you are the captain. |

Bülent Yıldırım: This throw-in is null and void. If you don't know the rules of the game, this is what happens. This throw-in is repeated. All of these objections stemmed from a lack of knowledge of the rules. The referee did the right thing. |

Bahattin Duran: The referee did the right thing. Muslera's objections are also a clear yellow card.

THE FOUL LIMA COMMITTED ON BARIŞ ALPER YILMAZ |

Deniz Çoban: Barış Alper's direction is towards the goal. VAR does not interfere with this. There are criteria for an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. There is no criterion that this position is in the corner or diagonal. I think this is a red card. |

Bülent Yıldırım: I also think that if we go by the logic of the laws of the game, this position is an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. VAR cannot interfere. A red card should have been given on the field. |

Bahattin Duran: A red card would have been more correct.
