Refereeing analysis of two key decisions in the Bregalnica – Shkëndija match

In the 74th minute, Shkëndija scored a valid goal. At the moment the pass was played, the scorer was in an onside position, with no elements indicating offside. The decision was thoroughly reviewed and confirmed by VAR.

In the 91st minute, another key incident followed. After the shot towards goal in Shkëndija’s penalty area, the ball struck the opposing defender’s hand, which was in an unnatural position. This was a justified decision to award a penalty, which was also confirmed by VAR.

Additionally, in the build-up to the penalty, the Bregalnica player who played the pass to his teammate was in an onside position, with no elements indicating offside. This situation was also reviewed and confirmed by VAR.

In both of the two most significant situations, the refereeing team’s decisions were correct. Both the goal in the 74th minute and the penalty in the 91st minute were valid, while VAR further confirmed the correctness of the decisions made through its reviews.

The first match of the day, between FK Shkëndija Arachinovo and FK Tikvesh, also passed without VAR intervention and with excellent refereeing.
