Match Incidents Clarifications – Premier League Round 6 (According to the Laws of the Game)

Kyzylzhar vs Kaisar

Min 20 – Already inside away team penalty area, there is a challenge between defender №5 and attacker №14. They challenge shoulder to shoulder, with the ball at a playable distance and with normal intensity. The referee was behind play and with good view had a correct decision to allow play to continue as no foul was committed.

In these situations, the correct decision should be allowing play to continue.

Correct decision for no intervention from VAR also.

Kairat – Tobol

Min 42 – Inside away team penalty area, attacker №23 was on the ground but manages to play the ball with his foot inside the penalty area. Defender №15 stretches the leg to reach the ball but arrives late and makes a reckless foul stepping the upper part  of the foot (ankle) with his studs (but not with high intensity). The ball was already played, and the referee was looking for the next phase.

In these situations, the correct decision should be to award a penalty kick and a yellow card for reckless foul.

The VAR should also intervene if the referee does not award a penalty kick.

Ordabasy – Turan

Min 63 – Challenging for the ball, which was coming from up, home player 17 and away player 8 challenge for the ball. Home player stretches the leg straight at his opponents’ stomach level and hit him from the front with his studs with some intensity, clearly endangering the safety of his opponents.

In these situations, the correct decision should be direct free kick and red card.

Correct decision from VAR to intervene
