Small description of the match (extra-ordinary incidents etc.):The last quarterfinal of this tournament was played in Istanbul's Ali Sam Yen Arena, whichwas quite empty as it was seen in most of the matches. So only 6632 spectators saw agreat, entertaining match with many goal scoring opportunities (41-19 attempts, 22-10 ontarget). It came to a dramatic end with 3 goals in extra time, one in the very last minutedecided that, Ghana reached the semifinal.For the refereeing team around CL final referee Nicola Rizzoli it was a challenging match,due to the tension and high pace, however without many big decisions to take. A specialsituation was given, because many players would be missing the semifinal when they got abooking.

Referee

Crucial Decisions (refer to penalty kicks, sending-off situations etc.)

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the referees decision

48No foul penalty to Ghana, the striker fell down too easy, YC for dive was possible,but also OK not to show it.

110

YC for Assifuah for a kick against the goalkeeper without chance to play the ball.A red card for violent seems more appropriate, but one can also support thecaution, because it could have been a late reaction to play the ball by Assifuahand though only reckless.

Basic Observations (refer to the general application of the LotG, highlight the

referees tactical approach, personality, match control, management of the teamsand players, teamwork etc.).Please deploy short but precise and detailed sentences!

Positive Points

1.His lenient style contributed to the pace of the match. However he was able todetect the clear fouls and did not hesitate to stop the match more often when itwas required.

2. Very good control, achieved by 3.-5.

3.Good communication, he often explained his decisions to the players and also

listened to them.

4.Good card management, very lenient in the first half, when he started with verbalwarnings instead of bookings, later on stricter, leading to seven cautions, whichwere all correct and also tactically well chosen

5. Self-confident behavior and appearance.

6. Good use of the advantage rule.

Points for Improvement

1.His avoiding of yellow cards in the first half worked here, but it could lead toproblems. Especially the situations in 17' und 22' were worth a booking.

2. Positioning was expected level, but could however be still improved

3.The teamwork was not perfect, besides a different direction from referee andassistant at a throw-in (38', players followed AR, ref simply allowed it), theassistants seemed to be stricter in foul detection.

Further observations (peculiarities of the referee revealing his character)

Rizzoli showed why he is considered as one of the best referees in the world,with a very good performance, which was near to the optimum. However, there

are some small points, he can work on.Noticeable was his presence on the field, which made clear he is the mostexperienced protagonist there without being arrogant.He rarely used the spray.
