In the 8th week of Trendyol Super League, Galatasaray continued its leadership by defeating Gençlerbirliği 1-0 in Ankara. Fenerbahçe beat Alanyaspor 3-0 at home.

Hürriyet Writer Fırat Aydınus evaluated the referee management of these matches in his column:

A PENALTY COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN IF BATRAKOV FALLED

Reşat Onur Coşkunses is a referee who is qualified to be a referee but has shortcomings due to his inexperience. First of all, he needs to know that insisting on not showing a yellow card in a match does not mean that he will be a good referee.

In the 67th minute, in the fight between Batrakov and Fıratcan, it is important to pay attention to whether Batrakov, who fell to the ground (on the side), tripped or whether Fıratcan opened his left foot towards the opponent. My comment is in favor of penalty. Whatever decision the referee made, VAR could not interfere. Batrakov's action before Galatasaray's goal in the 88th minute was not a foul. Therefore, the attack cannot be considered as the initial phase.

OBVIOUS GOAL WAS CANCELLED DUE TO VAR ERROR

In the 47th minute of the Fenerbahçe-Alanya match, before İrfan Can's second goal was canceled, the referee continued the position and applied a kind of advantage in the violation made by Kante. However, Alanians played poorly and lost the ball to Fenerbahçe and the goal was scored. In other words, it is not possible for the yellow-dark blue team to win the ball by making a foul before attacking. However, VAR referee Sarper Barış Saka applied a wrong protocol and called the referee to the monitor, and the obvious goal was canceled on the grounds of 'foul at the beginning of the attack'.
