"THE BALL IS GOING TO THE HAND"

Speaking to Fanatik, former FIFA-badged referee Deniz Çoban drew attention to the VAR conversation in the Başakşehir-Kayserispor match. Çoban stated, "In this match, the VAR referee says: 'The ball is going to the hand!' While this expression should mean 'no violation,' it actually served as an invitation for a penalty."
