It is in the sense that Onana did not affect the opponent's ability to play the ball as best as he could in that situation, as it had already happened, and no obvious goal-scoring opportunity was denied either.
Taken from the FA's website, the following factors were surely also taken into consideration and were in favour of Onana here:
- distance between the offence and the goal
- general direction of the play
- likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball
- location and number of defenders
No penalty for me.
I saw a keeper missing the ball last season, instead punching the player in the head who headed it. No pen.
Onana was going for the ball and didn‘t interfere with play, I don‘t see how the decision to not give the penalty could be construed as a clear and obvious error.
I didn‘t think it would be a pen for one second.
Apparently the VAR ref of Monday‘s game has been punished. This makes me think there‘s a campaign against us. Along with the two bullshit suspensions of Casemiro last season.
And that handball of Martinez that came off his own body, that they gave a penalty for. That was a clear misinterpretation of the rules.
But if a decision goes in our favour, the ref gets punished. What‘s going on here?
