Red Card to Uğurcan Çakır in the France Match, Okan Buruk's VAR Criticisms Came to the Agenda

Our National Football Team hosted France at Kocaeli Stadium in the first week of the UEFA Nations A League. A remarkable decision took place in the last part of the match, which France won 1-0 with the goal scored by Kylian Mbappe in the 54th minute.

DIRECT RED CARD TO UĞURCAN ÇAKIR

Uğurcan Çakır, who made critical saves throughout the match, experienced an unfortunate moment for the national team in the 86th minute. The experienced goalkeeper, who went out of the penalty area to intercept the ball sent by France behind the defense, touched the ball with his hand.

German referee Felix Zwayer, who went to VAR review after the position, applied for a direct red card on the grounds that Uğurcan Çakır played with his hand outside the penalty area.

Following this decision, the National Team completed the remaining part of the match with 10 players. After Uğurcan Çakır was sent off, Altay Bayındır took the goal, while Barış Alper Yılmaz came to the side.

OKAN BURUK'S WORDS BECAME THE AGENDA AGAIN

The name of Christian Dingert, who served as the VAR referee in the position where Uğurcan Çakır received a red card, also brought up Okan Buruk's previous statements.

After the match in which Galatasaray lost 3-1 to Sporting, Buruk reacted to the German referee over a position in which he thought there was no VAR intervention.
