  • Former referee Pavel Mareš said Hradec Králové should have received a penalty after Abdullahi Umar fell near the edge of the area against Zbrojovka Brno.
  • Referee Daniel Lovětinský allowed play to continue, while Mareš also said VAR should not have intervened in a separate incident in Vršovice.

Hradec Králové may have missed a major chance to equalize after Abdullahi Umar went down near the edge of the penalty area during a challenge with Zbrojovka Brno defender Denis Granečný.

Referee Daniel Lovětinský did not point to the spot. Former delegate and referee Pavel Mareš believes that decision was wrong. “I believe a penalty should have been awarded in this situation,” Mareš said.

Mareš has assessed disputed moments in the Czech top flight for iDNES.cz since the start of the new season. He also argued that VAR should not have intervened in the incident in Vršovice, highlighting two separate questions about video review and refereeing decisions.

I believe a penalty should have been awarded in this situation.
