What the hell is going on? Dias has lost control. Hasn't had control since the start. Foul detection has been poor. Saka getting hacked down, looks like going to play advantage arsenal lose ball; doesn't call it back. Then for some reason had second yellowed Ceballos for a nothing foul.
Someone may correct me but I believe it has been a disaster this evening for a normally amazing referee
Is that the nothing foul where he stands on the players ankle/foot? That is always going to be a yellow card, accidental or not.
I've been watching the NBI games so not seen the game and can't comment overall but I have seen footage on twitter where a player was given a 2nd yellow for standing on someone's ankle/foot. I think it was the Arsenal game although they were in blue and I thought Arsenal wore red so it might not even be the same game!
Imo it is a nothing foul, you may think otherwise and I don't even think he touches his ankle, literally just his boot.
Caballos was lucky not to be sent off for that foul just after half time so he knew he was on the edge. Penalty never going to be overturned but as Phil says looks like defender pulls his leg away. 2 semi finals and two below average performances
I agree, suprised he wasn't off then. Maybe he wasn't second yellowed for the foul itself maybe for the amount of fouls instead, possibly Dias has warned him on that foul and said one more and you're gone. If he's been second yellowed for that, then that is the correct decision. However, if for the foul itself, i think it is a mistake.
Thats fair enough, for me he didn't but we all have different viewpoints.
I agree both performances way under par.
