Small description of the match (extra-ordinary incidents etc.):Hosting nation Turkey faced their first opponents El Salvador at this Under-20 World Cupand convinced with an easy-going 3:0 victory.Weather and field conditions were good, only 4662 visitors and fans attended the match of their home team though. Nonetheless they created a good atmosphere in some moments.The referee team faced some tough moments here and there so that for each official thematch difficulty was between normal and challenging.

Referee

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

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the referee’s decision

20

The referee correctly did not award a penalty to Turkey. A Turkish forwardreceived a small contact with an El Salvadorian defender and fell with much delayand too easily. A yellow card for dive would have been even possible, but notmandatory.

83

 Another penalty appeal by Turkey, also this time the Brazilian referee waved play-on. The El Salvadorian defender touched both, ball and opponent. It was rather apenalty than nothing, but in the end it is an acceptable call and no crucial mistake. As Turkey had already led 3:0 at this point of time, it was more or less irrelevant.

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

Positive Points

1.Very good foul detection. He had a suitable feeling for what was a foul and whatwas nothing. The referee stayed very attentive until the end and detected nearlyevery infringement.

2.His overall card management was good. He detected the first more serious fouland immediately punished it with a deserved caution. Doing that he set a clear line that was understandable for the players.

3.Good dealing with the players. He explained his decisions to them with gesturesand communication. He was respected.

4. In the end adequate dealing with situations happening in the penalty area.

Points for Improvement

1.

Despite his good card management, one of the issued bookings was wrong. ElSalvadorian Hernández was booked (65’) without clear reason. He obviouslythought to have detected a foul with studs-up (the Turkish player also needed

treatment), but it was neither an intentional nor a reckless foul. -0.1 for thatleading to 8.3.

2.

Whistle language. He had no consistent line in blowing the whistle, some longer whistles for small infringements and smaller ones for more serious infringements.He can support his appearance and decision taking on the pitch by improvingthat.

Further observations (peculiarities of the referee revealing his character)

One of his pecularities are his strange whistle language and the fact that hewears his yellow card in the left trouser pocket. He furthermore seems to be aleft-hander.

Assistant Referee 1

Please assess the first assistant referee’s performance.

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the AR’s behaviour  

29

 AR1 Rocha De Matos wrongly disallowed a goal scored by Turkey for an allegedoffside position. Replays however showed that it was onside or level. Not so easyto see, but nonetheless a crucial mistake when the score was still 1:0 and thematch hence was open.

full timeBesides that, he took correct offside decisions e.g. in the 4 th or 50th minute. Goodin assisting the referee in some other moments.

Assistant Referee 2

Please assess the second assistant referee’s performance.

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the AR’s behaviour  

63 Good and not easy NO offside decision preceding Turkey’s third goal.

80He very well detected an offside goal scored by Turkey. Tight decision but correctcall.

81Missed an offside flag for another Turkish striker, also here tight. Very goodperformance nonetheless.

Fourth Official

Please assess the fourth official’s performance.

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the fourth official’s behaviour
