Sunday’s hit of the group for the Fortuna League title between Prague’s Slavia and Pilsen was decided by two ordered penalties by Polish referee Frankowski at the very end of the match. The jury also commented on the situation.
Criticism of Polish judges
The biggest hit of the Czech Fortuna League so far had an unpleasant taste after the final whistle. The match was decided by two penalties just before the end of the match, and especially the one presented by the guests from Pilsen was at least contradictory.
For the third time this season, the beat was driven by a Polish judge, this time Bartosz Frankowski. He had a really hard day, because the match had a lot of fighting spirit and in such a tense match, of course, controversial moments appeared. Judges were blamed not only controversial situations, but also unnecessary biting of the game, which disrupted the flow of the match.
The match was decided by two ordered penalties at the end of the match
First, in the first half after Stanislav Tecl’s escape from the middle of the field, he ordered a penalty kick after contact with goalkeeper Staňek, and then he changed it at the warning of the video referee. And at the end of the match, he ordered two penalty kicks, which decided to divide the points.
First, in the 91st minute, after a foul by Beauguel, a penalty was kicked in the penalty area of the guests, which Kúdela uncompromisingly converted. So that a few minutes later the referee ordered a penalty for Plzeň after a controversial foul of the home defense and the Frenchman Beauguel corrected his taste with a converted penalty kick and set the final result at 1: 1.
The FACR Jury has commented on the contentious issues
In addition to the general football public, the FACR referees’ commission also commented on the disputed match. “At the written request of both clubs, a foreign referee was invited to the match, the international referee Bartosz Frankowski with experience from the Champions League and the European League, together with his colleagues, organized a match full of personal fights,” wrote the jury on your site.
“In the opinion of KR FAČR, not a single penalty kick, which he ordered, fell into the context of the whole match,” further stated in the statement. “Given that this was a FIFA foreign referee, we will not analyze the individual situations in more detail in public.” the commission delivered to the address of the Polish judges.
The deployment of Polish judges has been the target of speculation among the professional public, and thanks to this match, the debate will certainly intensify. Pilsen remained at the top of the table and has a possible Fortuna League title in its hands. Both teams are waiting for three more matches and we definitely have something to look forward to at the end of the league.
