Description of the match:

Play-Off match between PSV Eindhoven and AC Milan in front of a full and heated atmosphere procuded by 35.000supporters at Philips Stadion. The match could be played under very good weather and field conditions contributing to avery good piece of attacking football, which challenged the referee in following play at all times. The young Dutch squadimpressed in the early minutes but had to cope with a surprising goal scored by their opponents. They came back into thematch with much passion and verve so that a draw was in the end more than justified and deserved. The match never wasunfair orpoisoned, but nonetheless there were some smaller conflicts and tackles whose intensity was enhanced by the

furious crowd. Therefore experienced referee Cneyt akrall in all faced a quite challengingmatch.

REFEREE

1 Application and interpretation of the Laws of the Game / match control, tactical approach and management of thegame with the special situation(s) of the minute(s):

Comments:

Referee akrperformed very well under the aspect of detecting infringements and spotting corner kicks / goal kicks,meaning that he often proofed a sophisticated game feeling and eye for the last contact between player and ball (e.g.visible in the decision in favour of a goal kick for Milan in minute 4). Very good criteria for handball, proven many times.He had a clear and predictable line throughout the entire match and the players were able to understand where physicalplay ended and infringements started. Furthermore he did not hesitate to whistle free kicks in dangerous positions and wasunimpressed and not influenced by the crowd (see 5)). From the first minute of the game, the tactical approach becamequite visible: the referee chose a passive approach to allow the players and the match to develop and create its dynamic,supported by an overall satisfying application of the advantage rule. Nonetheless, he must pay more attention to be awareof being ready to change this approach to an active one when the time has come and certain events in the match requiremore determination and presence. This was done after the half-time break, but should have started a bit earlier at the endof the first half. He showed willingness to explain his decisions to the players but did not always meet their approval, whichis quite natural. It is not needed to always encounter offenders and the entire situation with gestures that should remind theplayers to calm down (specially visible in minute 38, when he cautioned Milans #10 for an elbow offense). He tolerated toomany dissents by word specially by Milans #45 Balotelli, who frequently questioned the referees and his team-matesdecisions (e.g. when he verbally complaint into the direction of AR1 after a throw-in decision in favour of PSV, minute 40).and should have shown a stricter dealing with that, otherwise his authority and match control might suffer from that insome matches. It did not happen in this one overall the match was under full control for the whole 90 minutes plus addedtime. In the 90

thminute, he well calmed down a small confrontation between a PSV player and Balotelli.

Correct to not award a penalty to Milan after their forward #92 collided with PSV goalkeeper #21 in the penalty area. Nocomplaints from the forward either (minute 51).In one particular situation, the referee should have taken another decision. When Milan s #45 Balotelli fell in the penaltyarea, the referee was very well positioned and immediately signalized no penalty and then awarded a free kick to PSV asBalotelli had handled the ball after having fallen. The replays revealed that it was a clear dive. The referee should be moreprecise in his assessment of such situations, recognizing clear cases of simulation and cautioning the respective offender.

Minute Description of the situation

23It seemed as if the referee certainly spotted the simulation that had been committed by Balotelli, at least hispositioning allowed to do so. Therefore he should show no hesitation to punish them in future.


3/7


2 Disciplinary control, management of players and team officials (bench) with the special situation(s) of theminute(s):

Comments:The disciplinary management was overall good. The referee only issued cautions when really necessary with regard to

fouls in the midfield. The first caution went against Milans #10 in the 38th

minute, who recklessly carted out his elbow in ajumping duel and touched his opponent twice with it (in the air and after touching the ball). He should have presentedhimself in a more decisive way though and should have avoided to wait too long with showing the card. The players usedthis chance to try some protests against his call. The second caution was more debatable. PSV #6 fouled MIL #45 whenthe ball was already away. #45 however waited for this contact and fell in a way that was more spectacular thannecessary. Nevertheless, the card was no complete error, as an obvious infringement occurred when the ball was alreadyplayed for a few moments (probably this decision was also bolstered by an advice given by the fourth official). Other yellowcards were shown in the second half, one for a reckless tackle very close to AR1 (#4) and another one to MIL #45 for atactical foul (holding) to stop a counterattack. Both decisions absolutely in line with the Laws of the Game and the referee sline of interpreting things in this match. He should punish dissent by word in future, Balotelli was really lucky to get awaywithout a card after verbally criticizing AR1 in minute 40.In future he must find a more consistent dealing with delaying the re-start of play. In many occasions Milan players wastedsome time, even in the first half. He often pointed to his watch to indicate that this wasted time would be added upon the

90 minutes, which however did not happen. The standard additional time of 3 minutes was signalized. In two situations atthe far-side, the referee did not appear in a convincing way while dealing with that (66 and 82). In 66, this was verystriking because, at a free-kick in the midfield for Milan, #18 obviously delayed the free kick s execution. For this reason,akrsprinted towards him and made some hysterical gestures to tell him Stop wasting time, do that again and you will becautioned!. This way to communicate with players and to achieve that time-wasting is banned out of the match definitelyneed improvement even more because in minute 82, a similar thing happened and once again, the referee did not issuea caution. He should hold what he promised in future.


40He should have demanded more respect for his and his team-mates decisions, after Balotelli strongly protestedinto the direction of AR1.

66

Here the referee missed the right point for a caution for delaying the re-start of play. His whole management

with that issue should be improved, starting from detecting time-wasting, continuing with cautioning offendersfor that and ending with enlarging the additional time (4 or 5 minutes would have been adequate).

3 Physical Condition:

Very good

Positioning and Movement:

+ Expected -

X --- --- Always close to the play, follows play at all times, and does not interfere with play

--- X --- Flexible diagonal system

--- X --- Able to anticipate the action

--- X --- Enters the penalty area when necessary

--- X --- Efficient positioning at set pieces / dead ball (e.g. corner-kick, free-kick, goal-kick)

Please describe any special situation(s) with indication of the minute(s)mandatory if you tick - (negative point) in one ofthe above boxes:


Full time

As indicated in the description of the match, the game was characterized by a very high pace. The refereenever had problems to follow play as a result of a very good stamina, movement and positioning. When the ballreached the goalkeeper after a wave of attacking play, he immediately sprinted towards the midfield circle toguarantee to be on level with play at the next counterattack. Well done.


4/7


4 Co-operation with assistant referees, additional assistant referees (where applicable) and fourth official:

The referee team acting on this pitch is a very experienced one. It was visible that the referee easily relied on his team-mates, e.g. in the third booking that was recommended by AR1. One had the feeling that they communicated well witheach other, even though there was no remarkable scene where one of the team-mates could have played a really decisiverole.

5 Personality:

The referees personality and charisma both can be described as modest. He eschewed great gestures for most of thetime and wanted to control the match with a calm and friendly mood. His facial expression and body language supportedthat. He often showed the players that his decisions are final but that he is open to explain them to them. Sometimes itcould have been wiser to show more determination and severity to fill the room for protests he offered to the players insome moments of the first half.

6General comments, advice on performance and personality:

After Old Trafford (ManU Real Madrid), this match was the comeback of Cneyt akron Champions League stage. Hedid overall well and showed his skills one is used to see. The basic performance in terms of controlling the match andtaking decisions was very good, however in some instances, his dealing with certain aspects and players should beimproved. Therefore a possible mark of 8.5 was reduced to 8.3.

7 Points discussed in the report:

Positive points: 1)Interpretation of the Laws of the Game: detection of infringements (foul, no foul,handling the ball) and of the correct type of re-starting play (goal kick, corner kick).

2) Understandable and predictable reaction to infringements. His disciplinary controlwas sensibly chosen, even though he missed one or two further cautions.

3)Sovereign body language, modest appearance on the pitch and the ability to calmplayers down even in situations of possible conflicts and unpopular decisions.

4)Physical aspects: a great stamina and movement allowed him to follow this high-pace match.

Points for improvement: 1)

Dealing with delaying the re-start of play. Decide: either sort out some cautions toban this behaviour already started by Milan players in the first half, or keep yourpromise to enlarge the additional time at the end of the second half often indicatedby pointing to the wristwatch. Hysterical sprints and gestures to instruct someplayers to stop wasting time were naturally not successful and should be avoided

in future.

2)Demanding the players respect for his refereeing teams decisions in a moredetermined manner. Cautioning Balotelli (#45) for dissent by word towards AR1could have been a signal that undermining his authority would not be accepted.

3)Finding the right point of time to switch the approach from passive to active. Moreflexibility might help.

4) Cautioning clear occasions of simulation instead of letting the game go on.

ASSISTANT REFEREE 1

8 Assistant referees performance (please mention some important decisions with reference to the minute):


+ Expected -

--- X --- Correct offside decisions and good application of the wait and see technique

--- X --- Good positioning and movement

--- X --- Adequate alertness and good co-operation with the referee

X --- --- Reaction to incidents within his vicinity

--- X --- Efficient control at set pieces / dead ball (e.g. corner-kick, free-kick, goal-kick)

Comments:Very good and faultless performance by the first assistant referee, Bahattin Duran. He took a crucial decision correct when

he detected that Milans goal-scorer #92 was on level with the 2nd last defender during the 0:1. All other offside and onsidedecisions looked good, in the 67

thminute, he proofed a good application of the wait and see technique.

Furthermore, he well reacted to incidents happening in his area of vicinity, e.g. when he spotted that the ball had alreadycrossed the sideline in minute 40 or the foul leading to a yellow card in minute 63. In the first example (40 ), he stayedcalm when Balotelli protested against his decision, advising the referee to caution the player would have been adequatethough.Overall a very good performance, 8.6.



13Very good onside decision prior to Milans goal. Good positioning led to a correct decision with a crucial

outcome for the match.

6/7


Comments:The second assistant referee, Tarik Ongun, was rarely challenged in this match but performed well whenever demanded.He took a very good decision in the first minute of play when PSV #6, having been level with the 2

ndlast defender,

deflected a shot of #9 and thus nearly scored a very early goal. Due to the confusing character of the situation and highpace, this call was really challenging. But that was the only really demanding situation he had to cope with. Therefore areally good performance assessed with 8.4.

--- X --- Reaction to incidents within his vicinity


Comments:

The first additional assistant referee, Hseyin Gek, was not remarkably involved in game-relevant situations ordecisions. Everything normal and on expected level.
