KARMIOTISSA – AEL minute 42th
REFEREE'S INITIAL DECISION: PLAY ON
VAR: RECOMMENDED AN OFR
REFEREE’S DECISION AFTER OFR: DIRECT FREE KICK FOR HANDBALL IN THE APP
EXPLANATION: A DEFENDER IN HIS OWN PENALTY AREA PLAYED THE BALL WITH HIS ARM WHICH WAS IN AN UNNATURAL POSITION, MAKING HIMSELF BIGGER. THE VAR ACCORDING TO VAR PROTOCOL ANALYZED THE ATTACKING PHASE POSSESSION (APP) AND FOUND OUT THAT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE ATTACKING ACTION AN ATTACKER PLAYED THE BALL WITH HIS ARM. HE CORRECTLY RECOMMENDED AN OFR TO THE REFEREE SINCE THERE WAS A MISSED INCIDENT (PENALTY KICK FOR HANDBALL) BUT PRIOR TO PENALTY KICK THERE WAS AN ATTACKING HANDBALL. THE VAR CORRECTLY SHOWED FOOTAGE OF POSSIBLE PENALTY KICK AND THEN POSSIBLE ATTACKINGHANDBALL TO THE REFEREE. THE REFEREE CORRECTLY AWARDED THE DIRECT FREE KICK FOR THE DEFENDING TEAM. VERY GOOD APPLICATION OF LAWS OF THE GAME AND VAR PROTOCOL BY THE VAR.
