Kyros Vassaras says Rezvan Onea’s foul on Florinel Coman was not a red card

“There are situations on the borderline between yellow and red cards: when a player puts his foot in the opponent’s direction, puts both or uses blocks.

It can be full contact, here we are talking about a red card, or superficial, light contact, and here we are talking about a yellow card.

Based on these criteria, the referee assesses whether the corresponding attack threatens the opponent’s physical integrity. He must assess the intensity, malice, intention of the football player. Sometimes accidental or unavoidable contacts happen. Then we cannot come up with maximum sanctions.

It’s a reckless, low-contact attack at the boot level. It’s not full contact, it’s just touching. There are no clear elements for a red card.

Look at the photo what happened at this stage. It was contact, without excessive force, but at high speed” – Kiros Vassarasat a press conference held on Thursday.
