Esteghlal 1 - 2 Al Jazira
AFC Champions League 2012 group stage · 2012-04-03 Referee: Dong Jin Kim

Not a big fan

Red card Missed!

Omranzadeh from Esteghlal should have been sent off in the 44th minute for "Denying and Obvious Goalscoring Opportunity" but Kim just handed out a yellow which was definitely wrong.

Second time for Omranzadeh

In the 58th, As Al-Jazira were attacking, a pass was made in the air close to the penalty area, and this time Omranzade stuck his hand out and stopped a "promissing attack" which was worthy of a yellow card. What did Kim do?? Just a foul and NO CARD!! Absolutely SHOCKING!!!

Oh well!

I'm glad that the mistakes made by the referee did not impact the result of the match. Kim has once again failed in my books because he fails to get the big decisions right.
