Sports writers evaluated the Başakşehir-Fenerbahçe match

At the 18th minute, just as the ball was coming from the corner kick, Amrabat pulled Duarte by the jersey and brought him down. The referee gave a penalty without hesitation and gave Amrabat a yellow card. While Duarte was about to shoot, Fred was in front of him in the goal. The referee thought it was a shared ball and gave him a yellow card.

A red card would have been accepted due to an obvious goal chance. The referee's on-field comment was a yellow card. In the 26th minute, Fred's shot was closed by Kemen's right arm and hand, so it wouldn't be a penalty. The decision to continue is correct. In the 30th minute, Carlos, who had a yellow card before (I don't agree with the first yellow), grabs Piatek by the neck and brings him down with a foul. It should have been a red card due to the second yellow, but the referee couldn't send him off. He was tolerant and didn't even give a foul.

Talisca, who had a yellow card in the 31st minute, went up to the air ball in front of the opponent's goal, it was not a reflex or delay due to the position, he deliberately played with his hand and turned the direction of the ball towards the goal. It should have been a red card from the second yellow. He stayed on the field with the referee's tolerance. Fred should have seen a clear yellow card for his uncontrolled movement towards Yusuf Sarı in the 35th minute. But the referee's tolerance continued here as well.

In the 55th minute, Opoku's right arm may not be too exaggerated in Talisca's shot, but it cannot be said that he missed and shrank, the ball that partially separated from the body and touched that arm-hand is a penalty. The referee did not give it! Portuguese VAR stepped in, went to OFR, watched, returned and said "no penalty". For the first time this season, after the foreign VAR invitation, we watched a referee in the Super League who stood behind the decision he made on the field. The erroneous offside flag that was seen with the naked eye when Fenerbahçe scored a goal in the last minutes is unacceptable! The correct goal decision came from VAR. Burak Pakkan and his team were bad.
