In the middle of last week, a postponed match from the second round of the national championship was held at stadion Z’dežele, featuring the Styrian rivals Celje and Maribor. The hosts triumphed with a score of 2:1, but just a week later, Damir Skomina appeared on the show “Pod prečko” and stated that Maribor was wronged in the duke’s city.
For the violet team, there were two controversial situations in Celje. Damir Skomina claims that Jana Repasa‘s fall in the Celje penalty area was not worthy of a penalty, but the referee should have pointed to the penalty spot when Damjan Vuklišević brushed the ball with his hand after a shot on goal. It is true that the Celje defender was retreating and pulled his arm towards his body, but it is also maintained that contact occurred.
Damir Skomina, one of the best referees in football history, explained why he believes the referees made a mistake in this case. “We have the latest instructions, which are stricter when it comes to shots on goal. My opinion, as well as the opinion of international and former international referees to whom I sent the situation, is that this is a penalty kick or a VAR intervention. Why? Because of these new instructions. The football world also expects a penalty kick. It requires significantly less explanation than why this is not a penalty kick. From now on, actions directed towards the goal will be punished more severely,” said the Koprčan as a guest on Sportklub.
