Michael O`Neil: I could not believe that such a penalty is being handed to such a match
North Carolina National Team coach Michael O`Neil accused Romanian referee Ovidiu Hacegan of defeating his Swiss players 0-1 in the first playoff game on the way to the 2018 World Cup. Hacegan shook the soccer world yesterday after finishing a penalty for the guests inThe 58th minute when the ball traveled to the back of Cory Evans at a jerk of Jardan Shakuri. `The referee did not look into this episode of the match, even though he was very close to the situation. ` Cory Evans tried to block the strike, turned his back, and his hand was unnatural. I`m sure he hit his hand, and at first I thought the referee was giving a foul or ambush, nobody realized that he had been awarded a penalty, I am angry with this decision, that moment has become the decisive one for the final outcome of the match.
But now we have to forget about this: My players showed a very good reaction and in the second half we played better, we lost only 1 goal so we have a whole game mentioned by
football live games in front of us, and it is possible that the next judgeis on our side, said the Northern Irish breeder and added that it would be a good idea to use the video footage here. `` The strange thing is, the judge knew he was making the wrong decision. He consulted his assistant and did not repeal it. Otherwise, last week I spent three hours at a FIFA conference on technology and now defends their introduction. `This is a much worse decision than an open goal because of an ambush, because then the judge could not even see it, but he was close and convinced he pointed to a penalty, misunderstood the culprit Cory Evans.
