CSA Steaua defeated Dynamo in the eternal derby with a score of 2:0, but the game was not easy for referee George Gehmann. The center’s decisions were analyzed by arbitration specialists.

Bohdan Chipirlyu’s second goal was scored outside the norm

Having opened the scoring from the penalty spot, Bohdan Chipirliu managed to make a double in the 29th minute, when a free kick performed by goalkeeper Oncescu from his own penalty area was intercepted by the striker of Stela and sent into the net.

Former referee Ion Crecunescu argued that the goal should be disallowed and the free-kick replayed as Chipirliu was in the penalty area when it was taken, a view also supported by Marius Avram.

“When a free kick is taken from inside the penalty area, all other players of the opponent must be outside it. However, if there is a player in the penalty area, he is not allowed to attack, challenge the ball, otherwise the free kick must be repeated.

If he sat there and didn’t attack the ball, he didn’t make any mistakes. The best angle would be from the assistant referee, but I noticed something, Haman was not wearing a helmet, I don’t know why. Stella’s second goal was scored in unusual conditions.” – said former referee Marius Avramfor Digisport.

Dynamo invited two shots from 11 meters

Dynamo asked for a penalty twice – in the 53rd and 88th minutes, Dynamo forward Katalin Shira and star defender Alexandru Sabeu played in both matches.

First, Shirou pulled Sabau’s shirt until he fell, and in the second phase, the contact between them took place at leg level.

In both phases, referee Gehmann allowed play to continue without VAR in second division matches.
