— The referee correctly awarded a penalty against Zenit. The contact of the ball with Wilmar Barrios’ hand in his own penalty area, in the opinion of all members of the committee, is punishable. The defender’s hand was abnormally set back from the body, increasing its surface; an intermediate contact of the ball with the body of this player, after which the ball practically did not change the direction of its movement, is considered by the committee to be a ricochet. , and not a play on the ball by the defender, who risked being punished by moving his hand towards the flight of the ball in the same way. The committee unanimously supports the referee’s decision to award a penalty in this episode of play and the decision of the VAR not to intervene in the game situation, due to the lack of obvious grounds, the ESC decision states on the RFU website.
In addition, according to the commission, the referee did not properly send off Dynamo midfielder Jorge Carrascal in the 47th minute of the match.
— The actions of this player during the duel for the ball with Wendel (Zenit) are considered by the majority of the commission members as reckless. The player tried to fight for the ball and played it in single combat with an opponent; he did not have high speed and intensity, but the Dynamo player did not take into account the danger of his actions and the possible consequences for the opponent when making a tackle in this way.
The majority of the panel supports the referee’s decision to caution the player for reckless behaviour and the VAR’s decision not to intervene in the game due to the lack of clear grounds to do so, the statement said.
