Kocaelispor-Fenerbahçe Match: Referee Decision & Controversy

45+1 | Position between Linnety and Alvarez

Bulent Yildirim: After the goal, we look at Edson, probably due to a dialogue within the match. He comes in front of Linetty, makes a move and she reacts. The referee of the competition also sees everything that happens here. Edson Alvarez should receive the second yellow card.

Bahattin Duran: The referee meets with the fourth referee or assistant referee. And Linnety gets a card. The referee points to the side. Fenerbahce might have had something happen with the bench. Fenerbahçe’s administrative manager receives a red card. Linnety comes to the side and most likely has a problem with the Fenerbahçe bench. The fourth referee gives a yellow card to Linnety and a red card to Fenerbahçe’s manager.

Sea Shepherd: He shows Linnetty a yellow card. I wonder if he did something else and saw it for that reason? So why did he wait so long to show the card? It shows the card 1-1.5 minutes after this action occurs. When this player made this move, he should have been carded immediately. Alvarez also should have been sent off for the second yellow card.
