Germany’s 0-1 in their match against Ecuador caused great anger in the South American team, which I understood that Sané’s goal should have been annulled because in the previous action Pavlovicin his attempt to control the ball at high altitude, hit Vite in the face before assisting to the 19th of Germany to score. The referee Tori Penso did not review the action and validated Germany’s goal.
In the repetition it is clearly seen that Pavlovic raises his leg excessively and ends up hitting Vite in the facewhich falls to the ground after the action. “This play is very complicated, because there is a player who raises his foot a lot, but he is very tall. And he goes to the ball, that is, he goes directly to the ball. So I don’t see a foul,” said Pérez Burrull, MARCADOR referee on RadioMARCA.
The former referee insisted on his assessment of the play: “There is a notable difference in height, and it is what he raises his leg, but it is to contest the ball. Furthermore, he does not throw it nor is it dangerous, that is, he simply makes a hat. I think it is an action that can be whistled for anything. I don’t see it clear anywhere. In these actions it seems to me that there is not enough impact on the defender to annul the play.”
