In the game yesterday (28th), even the goddess of luck was not on our side.

The ball hit the opponent's hand and flowed like a pass, leading to the first goal.

It was recognized as a goal as the rules changed last year.

On the other hand, criticism poured out towards the referee who dismissed coach Bento for protesting after the game was over.

This is our first run.



The ball kicked by Kim Min-jae hit Gana IU's hand and fell, and Salisu put it in. The referee judged that the handball was not intentional and conceded the goal.



This is because of the handball rules that have changed since July last year.



Before that, if the ball hit by a teammate's hand was directly connected to the goal, the goal was canceled regardless of whether it was intentional or not.



However, there was criticism that it was harsh to cancel a goal that came after that due to an accidental hit in the hand, and in the end, the rule was relaxed to admit a goal even if it was hit by hand if it was not intentional.

situation where a corner kick was obtained, the final whistle blows as it is.



It is common to allow the last set piece even if time is up, but referee Taylor ruthlessly applied the tournament guidelines to strictly apply extra time.

It was because of the changed rules that coach Bento, who was protesting, received a red card.



Originally, only a verbal warning could be given to the manager, but the rules were strengthened to give a red card three years ago.



After being sent off, Bento couldn't even attend the press conference, and he couldn't sit on the bench in the next game.



Referee Taylor has also caused a lot of controversy in the English Premier League, and English fans continue to criticize and ridicule Taylor after the game with Ghana, saying that they knew it would be the case.
