Last weekend, Bravo and Maribor clashed in Šiška, ending the match in a 1-1 draw. In the visitors’ camp, there was frustration with the officiating – with Matej Jug being the main referee – and even the legendary Damir Skomina believes that the purple team was wronged in the capital.
The most controversial decision was undoubtedly related to the disallowed goal. Indeed, Maks Barišić handled the ball in the build-up, but Damir Skomina emphasized that in this case, the VAR was incorrectly used.
Skomina: “There’s no advantage here”
“There’s no advantage here, the play should’ve been stopped for the handball. In the continuation of the action, we have the defender’s controlled reception and the wrong pass. We can’t go back to the handball because Bravo has possession. The refereeing team could only have resolved this by the assistant referee sticking to his decision. He should have been firm and said to the referee – listen to me. We can resolve this on the pitch, there’s nowhere written that it should be immediate. It could also be after the goal has been scored. The VAR shouldn’t intervene because we have a clear protocol that was incorrectly used here. The only mitigating factor is that the match doesn’t decide who will be the champion and who won’t,” Damir Skomina emphasized as a guest on the Pod prečko show on Sportklub.
Regarding the yellow card for Jan Gorenc (Maribor expected a red card), Skomina said it was “50-50”. Regarding the foul on Hillal Soudani in the home team’s penalty area, Damir Skomina said: “Soudani’s inertia is somewhat problematic from the start. However, we have two contacts here. But it’s definitely a penalty. What mitigates the VAR is Soudani’s jump, who with his experience already has an idea of what would be best to do in this situation.“
