Galatasaray finally got win thanks to VAR decisions.
Galatasaray has got crucial win against Goztepe during Super League 26th week game and possibly got right confidence and motivation to start aiming for getting further from relegation zone at the game which been dominated by VAR.
Starting with game, it needs to be mentioned that it is hard to state that Galatasaray did provide strong confident game for 90 minutes especially during 1st minute despite of finding an early goal. In fact, after 3rd minute when Nelsson did get goal game went into control for Goztepe which did create good opportunities and tempo but couldnt find goal. Afterwards, starting from end of the 1st half and almost entire 2nd half has been dominated by VAR which identified 4 penalties and disallowed given penalty from referee as those positions did have direct impact with scoreline as 4 of the 5 goals did come from penalties. In overall, as been mentioned this win would provide needed confidence for upcoming games and provide some relaxation for Domenec Torrent with 1st win.
Galatasaray did get finally win but without doubt it needs to improve on this performance if it wants to continue getting wins.
Central Referee Committee would need to give at least week off to Arda Kardesler.
As been noted, Goztepe and Galatasaray been dominated with VAR decisions of 4 penalties and also collecting one from referee as this example show how effectively VAR could be used but in same time showed poor performance of referee.
Hence, this game interestingly shows good usage of VAR but not readiness and lack of focus from main referee of the game Arda Kardesler who did lose control of the game more or less after 2nd penalty decision and even more after giving from penalty decision. Without doubt, it would be expected for Central Referee Committee to give some timeout as he would be losing focus and also referees tend to continue poor performance when been appointed to game soon, but it does look like once again committee will likely to appoint him again next week as it tends to do this season. Without doubt, it would be interesting to see how it would act right now.
Such ineffective and also losing morale of referee are best signs to give rest but its questionable if he would recieve it.
Ozgur Ekmikcioglu would complain to TFF regarding referee performance
Staying with issues of referees, it is reported that Altay CEO Ozgur Ekmekcioglu would be going to the TFF for complain about recent performances of referees in their games.
With feeling that club been treated unfairly during their games, Ekmekcioglu would be going to TFF with an examples and positions of recent 12 games where he would argue that those decisions are been given wrongly and there is systematic movement towards them. It needs to be mentioned that many clubs were using similar tactics, which normally is being productive, but since referee issues seems to be pretty systematic its very unlikely to provide any big changes for future but still such move would help TFF to realise.
Hence, this visit might not solve many issues but would give some awareness to TFF without doubt and referee committee.
