Rubin Kazan 1 - 1 Barcelona
Champions League 2010-2011 group stage · 2010-09-29 Referee: Cuneyt Cakir

A new star rising

A boring match, a superb refereeing

Cakir has never lost control throughout the game. Players have respected his decisions. And almost %100 of his decisions were totally correct. He had no hesitation each time when he pointed penalty spot. And both were undoubtfully correct. There was a glorious harmony with his AARs, and this resulted in distinguishing between dive-ins and real fouls.

Things to improve

The quality of a referee depends on how he lets the game flow. He whistles too many in some parts, he has to improve this dilemma. Positively, he considered two big advantage decisions correctly: one for Messi and one for Martins. And, he was very consistent in card policy as well.

My prediction

Yes, I know, it is too early to decide on the promotions but i have a prediction. Intrestingly, Cakir and Collum had bilateral appoitnments. One of them will be promoted and left: Einwaller, Bebek and Kelly
