Judge Marcin Kochanek hasn’t had a great streak lately. Last weekend, the referee made a controversial decision to send Michał Nalepa off the field. Now Kochanek went down a rung and stirred things up again, contributing to the crazy match between Lechia Gdańsk and GKS Katowice.
– I could say a lot about the refereeing, it’s a scandal. The League Commission should deal with this – said Sebastian Bergier, GieKSa striker, in a post-match interview.
What made the visiting team player so angry? The decisions of Marcin Kochanek, whom VAR tried to save in Gdańsk, but even video verification did not save the referee from trouble.
1st league. Controversies in the match between Lechia and GKS Katowice. Bergier: Refereeing is a scandal
Let’s take a goal to make it 1-0 for Lechia Gdańsk. Before Luis Fernandez won the aerial duel after a corner kick, the referee could have whistled a foul in the action leading up to the set-piece. Sebastian Bergier lost the ball after an opponent’s attack, which aroused controversy. The referee dismissed the game, Lechia scored a corner and scored.
– The referee comes to me and says: you’re right, there was a foul, I should have whistled it. But he didn’t whistle – explained the GieKSa player.
The further into the forest, the worse it is for the Lover. The situation in which Marcin Wasielewski fell as if struck by lightning in the penalty area was bizarre. The defender of the team from Katowice first beat the opponent, then fell down, counting on the referee’s naivety. He didn’t miscalculate – despite the lack of contact, Kochanek dictated “eleven”. This was only corrected by VAR, who called him to the monitor, after which the referee changed his decision.
Red cards for GKS Katowice players were right in this match. As many as two, because the guests were hunting for Luis Fernandez, just like Wisła Kraków’s rivals often did in the previous season. At the end of the match, however, the referee again made a strange decision. Dawid Brzozowski attacked David Bugaj in the penalty area from behind, replays showed that it was an attack on the legs, not on the ball.
Marcin Kochanek said that on the contrary, it was clean. He was called to VAR again, but this time he did not change his decision.
In the end, Lechia Gdańsk won big and confidently. Taking advantage of the advantage of two players, Szymon Grabowski’s players defeated GKS Katowice, scoring six goals. Luis Fernandez shined and recorded a double – goal number two was scored after a shot under the crossbar, which was slightly helped by a ricochet. The new acquisition of the Tricity club – Tomas Bobcek – also scored twice. The Slovak was supposed to cost Lechia EUR 600,000 and he quickly decided to start paying back.
Lechia Gdańsk – GKS Katowice 5:1 (1:1)
Luis Fernandez 9′, 55′, Bobcek 65′, 84′, Olsson 77′ – Bergier 13′
