       Quite an interesting performance I have a number of thoughts -
       Big Picture - Game in full control, no major issues in
       disciplinary control, good player management.
       Looking at the finer points - The biggest issue is the VAR
       intervention, firstly no blame whatsoever on the referee for the
       initial call, in real time a totally reasonable decision. On
       replay though I can see why VAR intervened - I just think they
       intervened from the wrong reason. For every angle bar one it
       appears as if there is no contact made and this one angle was
       not shown to the referee from what I could see. The angle from
       the right hand side of the goal showed that the defender did
       make a small contact with the attackers foot as he struck the
       ball so for me it is a foul. Now returning to the other angles -
       they would seem to indicate that the foul took place outside of
       the penalty area. So in my view the VAR should have called the
       referee for the foul being outside the box, therefore FK and RC
       for DOGSO (attempt to play the ball but outside the area). Now
       with regard to the referees actions at the screen, from the
       angles I think he was shown and the argument he must've been
       hearing from VAR I can totally understand why he reversed his
       call, from the side on angle it does look as it no contact is
       made and this was the angle reviewed most closely. A challenging
       situation for all, one I think they got wrong in the end in
       terms of blame I would apportion it primarily to the VAR but I
       must emphasis a very difficult scenario.
       In terms of the referee I would make the following simple
       comments - superb man manager, excellent fitness and good
       disciplinary interventions but he had a somewhat erratic foul
       detection, while all YC were at least supportable there were a
       number of times I thought he gave simply wrong free kicks (e.g.
       against Robertson in ET). There were 4/5 of these very clear,
       albeit rather inconsequential errors that for me marred the
       performance somewhat. The biggest clear error was the Mane
       caution - yes he deserved a card but the initial foul should
       have been in his favor.
       On the positives I thought he managed players excellently e.g.
       Mane situation mentioned also the Salah caution he calmed him
       down very well after a harsh but supportable yellow and had him
       go from protesting to accepting with a smile within 30 seconds.
       His fitness was also very good he maintained a high work rate
       throughout.
       Overall I would say a promising referee with a relativity good
       performance - my mark? 8.2 (-0.1 for missed yellow, -0.1 for
       foul detection issues).I have a feeling though that some will
       totally disagree with me and see this differently, as I said at
       the start - it was an interesting performance.

       Agree with most of that.  The contact was pretty clear, albeit
       not from every angle, and the only thing the VAR check should
       have been about was inside or outside the area.  It was clearly
       outside, so the only correct outcome would have been direct free
       kick and red card for DOGSO.  How they managed to come to a
       rescinding of the yellow card and a dropped ball is just
       baffling and can only really be put down to a failing of VAR.

       Am I correct in thinking that inside/outside is considered a

       Yes, an OFR wasn't needed. The referee could have gotten the
       info (inside/outside) via the communication. But I believe that
       Martinez Munuera called him in order to sell the decision
       better. Don't forget that Flamengo players were furious and
       questioned even the foul.
       IMO, the decision should have been a DFK+RC for DOGSO. The
       no-call is not acceptable especially at that level.

       You've got to wonder, what's changed at FIFA between last years
       world cup and this year.
       Take the Henderson "foul". Last year in the world cup that
       would've been a penalty. This game it was a foul on the player
       fouled.

       Do you think Munuera called him over for foul outside and
       Al-Jassim decided (against VAR advice) to give no foul?
       Obviously we can't be sure but initial graphic on TV said Free
       Kick, of course could be an error by the producers however it
       did seem there was quite a discussion going on between VAR and
       referee
       In any case I agree DOGSO and FK outside

       I think VAR would have recommended no foul at all, otherwise
       most likely course would have been VAR just recommended outisde
       and red card and referee accepted that.

       I thought he was thoroughly incompetent and way out of his
       depth. The foul on Keita that he missed, the caution for Salah,
       numerous free kicks given the wrong way and the ridiculous VAR
       farce which was DOGSO just for starters.
       Once again in a showpiece game, just as in the Super Cup Final,
       an official is appointed way beyond his ability and fails
       spectacularly. Thankfully in both games despite incompetence the
       result wasn’t affected.
       Experienced and capable officials must be fuming that two finals
       at these showpiece tournaments have been gifted to referees to
       tick diversity boxes. Absolutely laughable.
