‘Open and shut’: Referees advisor defends controversial grand final decision – Sydney Morning Herald
A-League referees advisor Strebre Delovski says the decision not to award Melbourne City a goal in Sunday’s grand final was correct.
Delovski says the goal was rightly ruled out as the officials had no doubt Wales blocked the line of sight of Redmayne.
“Based on the laws of the game, for the match official team, this is a clear case of obstructing the opponent’s line of vision,” Delovski said.
