In the match where Fenerbahçe faced Aston Villa in the 7th week of the UEFA Europa League, a rare situation occurred on the field.
Fenerbahçe faced Aston Villa in the 7th week of the UEFA Europa League.
The English team took the lead 1-0 with the goal scored by Jadon Sancho at the 25th minute.
Aston Villa continued its pressure after the goal, and in the 42nd minute of the match, Sancho was empty on the pass sent from the left wing to the penalty area. After controlling the ball, he first dribbled past goalkeeper Ederson and then wanted to send the ball to the goal, but Milan Skriniar intervened and prevented the goal.
After the critical intervention of the Slovakian defender in front of the goal, the ball first hit the referee of the match, Luis Godinho, and then fell in front of Morgan Rogers. Rogers put the ball into the net from close range.
However, the Portuguese referee of the match, Godinho, did not consider the goal valid, stating that the ball hit him and created a promising attack and that he raised his hand in the air before the goal.
Godinho, who did not change his decision despite Rogers’ objections, continued the game with a referee kick.
