He also whistled in Czech. How much does the referee who was supposed to hold DAC and cut Bystrica take?

They say that if he is invisible, he is in control and deserves praise for his performance. That certainly cannot be said about the head referee Martin Dohál after Sunday’s league match between Banská Bystrica and Dunajská Streda.

According to many experts and the general football public, the man with the whistle, who celebrated his 36th birthday less than a month ago, should have seriously damaged the home team.

In the second half, Dukla made up for the three-goal deficit, which they allowed to the leader of the competition before the break after a hat-trick by Nikola Krstovič.

She reduced the difference to one accurate hit, and the equalizer finally came. In the added time, the Banskobystrica team scored, but it was Dohál who took away the sensational tie at 3:3 and the point in the end.

He saw the hand of one of the home players and despite the fact that he also had the VAR system at his disposal, he did not use the video at all after a debate with the assistants. He incorrectly interrupted the action right before the end.

In addition, a few minutes earlier, he did not notice the hand of one of the Dunajská Streda players in the penalty area.

“I see behind it the intention to hold Dunajská Streda. It’s something similar to when the Minister of Health Lengvarský resigned recently and talked about political corruption, so in this case we can mention sports corruption,” ex-football coach Vladimír Goffa was angry a few hours after the match.

He demanded a harsh punishment for Dohál and his assistants at VAR. Home coach Michal Ščasný spoke about the execution in a live broadcast.

So who is the man who caused a storm of emotions in soccer Slovakia?

Martin Dohál belongs to the younger generation of Slovak arbitrators. Five years ago, the Slovak Football Association included him in the group of seven referees who were the first to acquire professional status under the Tatras.

In addition to Doha, Filip Glova, Ivan Kružliak, Boris Marhefka, Bystrík Nemček, Michal Očenáš and Peter Ziemba also fell into this category.

All of them signed up for SFZ for 3.5 years, while they had to fulfill several obligations – sufficient training, regeneration, they were not allowed to be overweight. “That is inadmissible,” said Marián Ružbarský, head of the referees’ commission.
