High-quality refereeing in the derby match from the third round of the First Macedonian Football League, between Struga Trim Lum and Vardar.
In one of the key refereeing situations, the home team’s defender plays the ball with his arm in an unnatural position, clearly separated from the body, thereby preventing the development of the visiting team’s attack. This constitutes a punishable handball, and the referee is in close proximity, with an unobstructed viewing angle, and correctly awards a penalty.
In all other situations, including the imposition of disciplinary sanctions, the refereeing team’s decisions are correct. The match is technically and disciplinarily controlled, with no recorded refereeing error.
