Crucial Decisions (refer to penalty kicks, sending-off situations etc.)

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the referees decision

83

Penalty awarded to New Zealand. Perica (CRO) makes a clumsy challenge frombehind to Fenton (NZL) near the goal line but a little to the right. Ricci is just rightoutside the penalty area and immediately points to the penalty spot. Excellentdecision.

Basic Observations (refer to the general application of the LotG, highlight thereferees tactical approach, personality, match control, management of the teamsand players, teamwork etc.).Please deploy short but precise and detailed sentences!

Positive Points

1.Foul detection. Good foul detection and especially no foul detection whichpresented a small amount of fouls (22).

2.Advantage law. He applied the advantage rule very good letting the game flow asmuch as possible and even waiting longer than the rule itself.

3.Decision making. His reaction at the penalty situation revealed great awarenessand it showed that he was ready to take any difficult decision. Needed.

Points for Improvement

1.Positioning and movement in the pitch. More backwards movement is neededand more diagonal. He shouldnt follow the ball because that way he is puttinghimself too close to play.

2.More consistency needed especially in cases of late challenges and when theplayer has no intention to play the ball. He didnt punish every situation asneeded.

3.Whistle language. He uses a weird kind of whistle and he does the same soundalmost at every foul. He should change his whistle and start giving a different toneto every infringement.

Further observations (peculiarities of the referee revealing his character)

One peculiarity is his whistle. His whistle is a weird kind and he doesnt give adifferent tone to every foul. He should be able to use it better in more serioussituations.
