Benfica 2 - 0 Hapoel Tel Aviv
Champions League 2010-2011 group stage · 2010-09-14 Referee: Alexei Nikolaev

Not a good match, just a fatal mistake

16' (the russian fatal mistake)

A clear penalty for Hapoel. Of course this could have had a big influence on the game. Nikolaev's mistake was double because he didn't see the foul (easy to spot) and had influence on the result.

Despite the error in the penalty the Russian did a good and secure job. He knew how to manage the game well and kept play going on whenever possible.
