Fenerbahce SK 3 - 0 PSV
Champions League 2005-2006 group stage · 2005-09-28 Referee: Manuel Mejuto González

Gonzalez bookings lottery is onesided

Onesided

Gonzalez finished the match just before halftime when Vennegoor of Hesselink was given his second yellow booking and was sent off. Both bookings could be stated as correct decisions, allthough Gonzalez forget to book Feherbahce players for several events. In the first half three clear backside attacks on ankles of the PSV players Ado and Farfan were left unpunished. The second ankle attack on Farfan by Appia even took place when the ball was allready far away from play. Allthough Gonzalaz rewarded PSV with several free kicks, his bookings were merely given against them.

Sadness

In the second half ten PSV players had to run for twelve. Some more strange bookings were made and it should be stated that the finishing score was mostly influenced by Gonzalaz decisions. Why Gonzalez gave bookings for one occasion and the other time not, could be game in itself. It is sad to influence a game that much though.
