The controversial incidents of the match, officiated by Adnan Deniz Kayatepe with Bülent Birincioğlu on VAR duty, were evaluated by former referees Bülent Yıldırım, Deniz Çoban, and Aleks Taşçıoğlu on the Trio program.

The most prominent incident in the program occurred in the 8th minute. The former referees did not agree with the decision to let play continue during Aliti's challenge on Trossard. Deniz Çoban commented on the incident, stating, "Without a doubt, it is a very clear red card anywhere in the world." Bülent Yıldırım also argued that there was no challenge for the ball and that VAR should have intervened.

The 8th-minute Aliti-Trossard incident was evaluated in terms of a red card on Trio.

Regarding the goal disallowed for a foul in the 19th minute by Oh, all three commentators expressed the opinion that it would have been more accurate to award the goal. Bülent Yıldırım and Aleks Taşçıoğlu stated that both players were pulling each other and that Aliti went down easily. Deniz Çoban also said that while it was a position where the referee on the field could be mistaken, awarding the goal would have been the more correct decision.

The struggle before Oh's disallowed goal was debated in terms of the foul decision.

In the 66th minute, when Ümit Akdağ went down inside the penalty area, the Trio team also highlighted a penalty expectation. Aleks Taşçıoğlu noted that although the referee was close to the incident, he missed the contact from behind. Deniz Çoban stated that it would have been more accurate to award a penalty.

A penalty comment was made for the 66th-minute Ümit Akdağ incident.

In the 90+1st minute, when Vlahovic went down in the penalty area, the assessments differed. Aleks Taşçıoğlu and Bülent Yıldırım found the decision to continue play correct, stating that there was a mutual struggle between Vlahovic and Ümit Akdağ.

The decision to continue play in the 90+1st-minute Vlahovic incident was found to be correct.

According to the Trio commentators' evaluation, the red card expectation in the 8th minute and the decisions in the 19th and 66th minutes were the most debated moments of the match regarding the referee's performance.
