| PSG | - | Dortmund |
In the first half I had my doubts about the way Pavel Kralovec conducted that match. He seemed to whistle quite easily and gave quite a number of soft freekicks for minor contacts. For a while, I had a feeling that we were heading for a nervous finish, but as both teams produced no goals and wasted their chances, Kralovec remained on top of the action.
Doubts on game management, but good on cards
On a slippery surface Kralovec awarded a number of freekicks in the first half on which I had a few doubts. Maybe he wanted to contain the pace of the match by breaking the rhythm to keep control. What I found good, was the timing of the first card for dissent after 25 minutes for PSG. The other other four were warranted by the culprits (mainly for clumsy challenges with one or two legs), so I found this part convincing.
The second half
In a way this was a game without goals. Kralovec seemed to calm down a bit and let the match flow a little bit more. On the whole, I found him alright, measured and without trouble in an average match. There were no controversial scenes, so at the moment I seem to watch too many dull 0-0-matches it seems. The action is elsewhere I guess.
