” The feedback from the PGMOL was that although his arm was out, it struck his hand and his hand remained in front of his body, so they believed that he had actually concentrated on that, whether that’s ideal or incorrect I do not understand.

When I see it once again, he does not play the ball, Solanke plays the ball initially. However when you see it carefully, Silva does not materialize contact with Solanke either. He does not in fact struck him.

” Both gamers’ feet get here on the ground, so it’s not a charge. Solanke plays the ball however Silva does not play Solanke. Both their feet are on the ground.”

” Cochrane brings him down, he’s going to head towards objective, the goalkeeper can’t get the ball and the law states ‘can he get a shot away?’

” I comprehend in typical play why it’s a yellow card due to the fact that he can’t see that, however when he goes to the screen I believe it’s an apparent red card.”
