A match between Celje and Olimpija raised a lot of dust, and the people of the city of Knez are convinced that they were badly wronged by the referees. In their eyes, it was the 11th minute penalty from which Rui Pedro scored the only goal of the game that was controversial. Damir Skomina, the best Slovenian referee of all time, believes that Olimpija really received a gift from David Šmajc in the Telemach First League derby, but he also underlined the duplicity of the Celje club.
Damir Skomina did not forget to mention that the Celjans were on the “other side of the referee’s stick” in the round before that, with two controversial decisions in their favour in the match against Domžale.
“Here we see that the ball has already been played, and in the sequel we see the attacker’s foot on the defender’s foot. For me, this is not a punitive blow,” Damir Skomina pointed out on the Pod prečko programme on Sportclub.
David Šmajc did not have an easy task, the Copra resident continued. “It is far from easy. It would have needed an extra close-up of the foot contact like they have in the Champions League, but the cameras are what they are, so I can understand VAR not getting involved. It’s hard to judge VAR because it’s a situation where you need a lot of time to get to the bottom of things. I have also looked at the situation several times, it takes a lot of time. The attacker is also seen to shorten his last step and is already sliding his foot on the ground on contact. The attacker must have thought about what he could get in this situation.“
